    "content": "I want to move:- THAT, since Kenya is a signatory to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic and Consular Relations and the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, having ratified it in 1965, therefore, these privileges and immunities under Cap.179, which also came to force on 6th April, give the force of Kenya Law; I want to ask the indulgence of this House that further to this Convention and also under Article 27, any official correspondence of the Mission is inviolable and hence, the diplomatic bags are not being opened or detained. Also, Articles 30, 34 and 36 of the Convention do not allow us to intervene in one way or the other, other than through other agencies of the Government, which are the police and the Anti Narcotics Unit. Given this indication, I have also brought this to the attention of the Member who has asked the Question. I would, therefore, ask for the indulgence of this House that this answer be given in camera ."
