    "content": "As relates to why extradition of suspects from Netherlands has failed, the answer is that the court in the Netherlands ruled in favour of the Kenya Government upon the Kenya Government’s request for the extradition of Mr. George Kiragu. The court found that the application was proper and admissible. However, the Minister for Justice in this Republic denied the request of the court to extradite Mr. George Kiragu and the matter rests there. Is there any Member of this House who was a suspect in relation to this investigation? The answer is “no”; there is no sitting Member of this Parliament who was a suspect in respect of the mater under consideration. As to question No. 5 the DPP does not possess the information as to whether or not samples of cocaine were brought back to Kenya. He has, however, written to the Director of Criminal Investigations, requesting that this information be supplied as soon as possible. As to question No.6 regarding whether or not investigations into the death of Mr. Chemorei have been reopened, I am advised by the DPP that he has applied and obtained copies of the proceedings regarding the inquest into the circumstances of Mr. Chemorei’s death. He has called the relevant police file to his office. Notwithstanding the order of the Magistrate that the file be closed, the DPP has re-opened the matter and he has started afresh to re-evaluate most of the evidence, with the help of the police file and other information that he has received from the members of the public. This, therefore, is an ongoing inquiry."
