    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the shop for Hussein was broken into in August and not November as alleged by the Questioner. It was raided on the night of 7th August, 2009. Goods valued at more than Kshs530,000 were stolen. What happened is that the watchman, a Mr. Philip Cheruiyot Mutai, who was guarding the shop, disappeared after it was raided. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 15th March, the investigating officer, PC Njagi booked and registered the case at the Principal Magistrates Court after he found him. After that, that particular OCS released him. That was something unique; a Government officer in the name of an OCS releasing a criminal! It has never happened. He could only be released while being taken to court. That was the reason why we had to arrest the OCS and fine her. She paid Kshs8,000 upon being proved guilty. The reason why the whole thing has taken a long time is because Philip Cheruiyot Mutai had disappeared. He had gone underground. The good thing is that we have identified where he is and a file of inquiry has been opened. We will act on this particular matter jus the same way we have done with the OCS. As the Questioner said, if there is any land which was bought using the same proceeds, I would recommend to the Attorney-General that, that particular parcel of land be confiscated, sold and the proceeds be paid to the complainant. Due process must be followed. We must follow the law to the letter."
