    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, this was a Statement with regard to the death of a Kenyan in Dubai, Mr. Enos Ogada. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms that the Kenyan Consulate in Dubai has informed us that Mr. Ogada died in Dubai’s Al Awir Jail. He was found dead in the morning of 20th September, 2012. The authorities in the United Arab Emirates, in a letter dated 25th September, 2012, indicated that Mr. Ogada died of natural causes and medical examination reports were handed over to his wife Mrs. Dorothy Ogada who was also in Dubai. Prior to the late Mr. Ogada’s death, officials from the Kenyan Consulate in Dubai had been making monthly prison visits to see him and the last visit was then done just two weeks before he died. Mr. Speaker, Sir, after that, the necessary processes following his death were all done and the procedures for repatriation of the body were carried out by the relevant Government authorities of Dubai, which culminated on the 24th September, 2012. The Kenyan Consultate, therefore, issued a certificate of no objection for his death and the certificate was handed over to his wife. As a result of that, I would like to announce that information from our Consulate in Dubai indicates that the remains of the late Mr. Ogada will arrive in Nairobi tonight aboard an Emirates flight accompanied by the widow."
