"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the arrest and detention of a prominent Nairobi businessman. Hon. Speaker, this gentleman, Abdifatah Odowa Adan, the owner of the Luxury Coach was arrested by the police on the evening of 20th May outside Kilimanjaro Restaurant in Eastleigh. The police have never charged him with any offence in any court of law despite the court order issued for this on 26th May. In addition, his family remains in the dark regarding his whereabouts. Article 49(1)(f) of the Constitution stipulates the right that should be accorded to an arrested person. This appears to have been ignored in Mr. Adan’s case. Hon. Speaker, in the statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following:- (i) the specific whereabouts of Mr. Adan; (ii) the exact charges he is being held on, if any; (iii) when he will be arraigned in court as per the Constitution and; (iv) when his family can gain access to him to ascertain his well-being. I thank you."
