    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to respond to a question asked by Sen. Khalwale on the presence of Erick Dean Prince, an American mogul and a former Navy officer in the US. The question is whether I was aware of his presence and his activities/transactions in Kenya. 1. The answer is that the Electronic Border Management System indicates that Mr. Erick Dean Prince is currently not within the territory of Kenya. The system further indicates that the person arrived in Kenya on 8th January, 2014 aboard Etihad Airlines Flight No.641 from Abu Dhabi, holding an American passport and departed from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on 9th January, 2014 to London aboard British Airways Flight No.064, using the same passport. He does not hold a work permit. Therefore, his activities as far as matters of immigration are concerned cannot be ascertained. (b) With regard to whether the national Government knew that he had acquired Kijipwa Aviation in Kilifi and the circumstances surrounding such acquisition and whether due diligence was carried out by the national Government before acquisition, the answer to this is that on 18th March, 2014, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority received a copy of a form 203(A) from Kijipwa Aviation Limited notifying of change of Directors and Secretaries as follows. With effect from 19th November, 2013, Alan Cullinan Herd and Simon Nicholas Herd resigned as Directors of the Company and Uldarico Ard peregrine Jnr. (American) and Dorian Moshe Barak (Israel) were appointed as directors with effect from the same date. With effect from 19th November, 2013, Lima Registrars resigned as Company Secretary and Virginia Ndunge of Kaplan and Stratton Advocates was appointed as Company Secretary. On March, 2014, the applicant submitted CR12 (confirmation from Registrar of companies on both directorship and shareholding indicating new names of the shareholders and directors of the company with their particulars. The Government is aware of the importance of security in the aviation industry and has implemented various security measures with regard to aviation security. The other question was whether the national Government knows the history and track record of the said Dean Prince and his notorious undertakings at the Blackwater Worldwide Company especially but not limited to the activities in Iraq and Afghanistan. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
