    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs regarding the sanctions and actions of the President of the United States of America (USA) of designating me as a significant foreign narcotic drug trafficker under the USA Foreign Narcotic Drugs Kingpin Act. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in his Statement, the Minister should:- (a) clarify the reason and circumstances that led to the decision by the President of the USA to designate me as a significant drug trafficker; (b) clarify what due process was followed in regard of fairness, justice and respect to my fundamental rights and freedoms and the rule of law; (c) clarify exact information, report or credible evidence that was placed before the President of USA to justify his action to designate me as a significant foreign drug trafficker; (d) table evidence held against me by any person or authority that links me or would link me to any drug trafficking; (e) confirm that the Government will uphold my dignity and rights under the law; (f) confirm whether His Excellency the President and the Government of the Republic of Kenya were consulted or provided with evidence, which would implicate me in any criminal activities before such harsh action was taken; (g) clarify why I was not consulted or informed and why I was dealt with in total disregard of the respect of the rule of natural justice; (h) confirm whether the Government will seek the removal or reversal of the designation, based on the fact that I have never been involved in any drug trafficking or any other criminal act, whatsoever; (i) based on information that the President of the USA has forwarded my name to the House of the Representatives and the Senate for confirmation, to clarify what urgent action the Government of Kenya will take to prevent both Houses from acting on erroneous information; (j) what measures the Government of Kenya will take to ensure that my dignity, both as a Kenyan citizen and Member of this Parliament, is restored; (k) based on the current predicaments and action already taken, the Government to clarify what I am supposed to do as a Kenyan citizen being punished with a foreign law, and what remedies are available and what action the Government is taking; (l) further, clarify whether the incorrect information was placed before the President of the USA in order to obtain his Executive Authority by a rogue State officer; (m) further, clarify whether the Government and Attorney-General are going to appoint immediately an attorney in the USA to pursue this matter in order to restore my human rights and civil liberty; (n) further, whether it is the President who is supposed to communicate with the President of the USA in respect of this matter, or whether it is I who is supposed to do so directly; (o) further, whether the same information or criminal complaint that was given to Prof. George Saitoti by Michael Ranneberger and laid before the House on 17th February, 2011, was the same information that was used to procure the USA President’s Executive Authority; (p) further, the Minister for Foreign Affairs being seized with the continuous matter relating to drug trafficking and the various allegations, to lay before the House all correspondences sent from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the USA Embassy in Nairobi, regarding drug trafficking and all replies received, including all notipapel which might have been issued or made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, regarding drug trafficking; and, (q) confirm to this House whether in any part of the world--- That is because for a person to be designated as a significant foreign drug trafficker, possibly somebody is alluding that there could be evidence. The Minister should inform the House and produce evidence of any place where I would have been involved in drug trafficking, whether in Kenya, America or any other part of the world. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
