    "content": "Under what rules of the House can I compel him? The Chair is just as frustrated as you are. The only thing the Chair can do right now is to direct that the relevant parliamentary committee on security does proceed with speed, investigate this matter on its own and report back to the House. In the meantime, how much more time do you need, Mr. Lesrima? You realize that the Committee does not have a Criminal Investigation Department (CID), a forensic department or any of the machinery at the disposal of the Government. If the Government is unable to conclude an investigation and come and address Parliament’s concerns, and instead keeps on postponing the matter, then clearly we have a serious problem. As a matter of fact, this is a problem that is very unique. As old as I am, I have never seen a government come here and feign weakness, and say that they do not have information. It is sad. Can you also give an undertaking? This time it has to be firm. You should carry out investigations; you should be able to find clues because this involves the life of a Kenya. You can come back and tell us how far you have gone and whom you have arrested. If you do not find anything, you can equally come back and tell us that the matter can go to some other level of investigation, which will involve whatever you have in mind. In the meantime, I have directed that the relevant Committee moves with speed, investigates this matter and comes back to the House. Where is the Chairman of the relevant committee and his Members? Mr. Lesrima, give an undertaking on the official Government investigation and when you can report back to the House. These processes will proceed concurrently."
