Speaker, I have quite a number of pending Statements from the police and the Office of the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co-ordination of National Government. We have asked them to get us liaison officers to fast-track movement of Statements from their offices to Parliament, but they seem to be very slow. A notable case is on an issue raised by hon. Aduma. It is a very serious matter, in respect of which I promised to deliver a report in a week’s time, but the police have not yet responded. They have even been forced to call all the junior officers concerned to get a statement. So, there is a lot of bureaucracy within the Office of the IGP, and within the Office of the Cabinet Secretary. That is what I am able to say right now. I am willing to even give the Statement tomorrow, but the speed at which Statements are being processed is very low. So, let me promise to bring it in a week’s time; I will get in touch with the liaison officers to bring it to us in good time. So, give me a week, hon. Speaker."}
