    "content": "(Prof. Saitoti): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all let me say this. Before the President of the USA made his announcement, we had not been alerted. But even much more important, I doubt and wish to seek guidance, whether in actual fact it will be in order to discuss the Head of State of a friendly nation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not touch on it until I get the clarification. The key point here is that once the announcement had been made that Mr. Mwau is allegedly a kingpin in the drug and narcotic matters, in my capacity as the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, I ensured that information was sought both from the American Embassy here and also from our Embassy in Washington DC on the basis that this decision had been made. That was important and I was obliged to do so because Mr. Mwau is not only a Member of Parliament but also a citizen of this country. That is the standard form that is followed internationally. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member did see the police, that information did not come to me. I cannot tell a lie and I will not tell a lie! I only came to learn today that the hon. Member is being trailed in his own office and his home."
