    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Sungu has talked about Watergate, but our preliminary investigations on this matter clearly indicate that those were just ordinary gangsters, who were trying to steal some property to go and sell. Clearly, when the police arrived at the scene, the gangsters took off. Since they could not carry all the property they had stolen, they dropped some of it, so that they could flee. So, the indication that they only stole a CPU is not true. They had stolen some computers, cables and many documents, but they dropped them when the police arrived at the scene. So, those were ordinary gangsters. What we are investigating is who they are, so that we can arrest them. So, the issue of speculating that this was a Watergate-type break-in does not arise. Those were thieves who went to steal things from that place. The police came in immediately. The thieves took off. They dropped some of those things and ran away with what they could carry. So, there is no political motive in this matter whatsoever. What we are now trying to establish is who those people were, so that we can arrest and prosecute them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this incident has nothing to do with the raid on The Standard and the KTN offices. This was ordinary thuggery, which we are investigating. The speculation that is being raised without being said is that the Government could have been involved. What would the Government be interested in taking from Orange House? There is nothing! Mr. Speaker, Sir, the ODM is an open book. It is open and there is nothing that the 3974 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 18, 2007 Government would want to steal from the Orange House. They address the Press everyday and talk about their strategies anywhere everyday. They tell everybody what they want to do. So, why would the Government be interested in their office and take computers? For what purpose? The party is open and their strategy is known. What they are planning is known. So, there is nothing that the Government would be interested in, at the Orange House. These were thugs, whom we are going to apprehend. If Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o can help us with some information, we would be happy to go and get them from wherever they are and prosecute them."
