    "content": "Member of this House reacting to my Statement rose and said he was present at the Landmark meeting. In fact, those are the words he spoke in this House and said he was present; so I would like the Assistant Minister, when making these investigations to go back to the HANSARD and see which Minister of the Government said he was present at Landmark Hotel and take that in juxtaposition with what he said the General Manager of the hotel told him. Finally, I want to say that there has been action taken as a result of my Statement in this House and a report to the police station, but the comments that have been made by politicians, including at a meeting in Kitale to celebrate the appointment of one of the newest Cabinet Minister, references to my Statement in Parliament were made and specific allegations made that the information I had given was not true, even before investigations had been completed; this points out to me that unless this Government is serious, then what they are doing is not investigations but misdirection in investigations. I say this because until I complained to the Commissioner of Police, the investigating officer had been changed and the PCIO, Nairobi, had asked me to go and report to him. When I challenged him why the sudden change of investigations and pointed out to him that I was not willing to go to him to start fresh investigations--- That was when the police at the Parliament Buildings were allowed to continue with their investigations. While that was going on, a journalist in Kisumu telephoned me in relation to what Dr. Khalwale is saying and stated to me that the Assistant Minister had made references to the arrests of Mr. Midiwo and continued that Mr. Imanyara was next. That is the point I raised to the Assistant Minister but he gave me assurances that that was erroneous. I needed to say that and that was why I rose after Dr. Khalwale had stood up; I wanted to correct that aspect of the Statement. So the Assistant Minister is in a position to know what my stand is on that."
