"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security regarding my personal security and that of my family in view of an incident which took place between 2.30 a.m. and 5.30 a.m. on Thursday, 12th May, 2011. During the incident, heavily armed people wearing balaclavas forced their way into my house in Karen, where they stole goods of significant value. At the time, my wife and I were out of the country. The matter was immediately reported at Karen Police Station. In his Statement, could the Minister clarify whether this was an ordinary act of crime unrelated to: 1. The association of my name to the 2012 presidential elections as an aspirant. 2. My chairmanship of the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources, which recently tabled a Report on alleged corruption in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and its agents, which was adopted by this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we discovered very strong cartels in the Ministry and, indeed, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation was murdered. 3. The Land Adjudication in Mwea, Gachoka Constituency where some forces are unhappy about my role in the provision of title deeds to residents. The murder of Mr. Stephen Kisilu, a councilor of many yearsâ standing in Embu County was deemed to be linked to this land question. The said Stephen Kisilu, I might add, was my late father. We did have reason to believe that the Government may have been in the know in the respect of his death."
