    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, did you hear the Minister now admit that the police are at the airstrip, which is private property, where the owners have clearly said they want them withdrawn? I want to bring to the Minister’s attention, because he does not appear to want to answer in a candid manner, that on 13th May, 2005, the then Permanent Secretary in charge of Internal Security, one Cyrus Gituai, wrote to Mr. Ndolo, the then Provincial Commissioner (PC) Rift Valley, concerned about the activities of one Bond Nielsen in this branch. He was saying that he has a contingent of employees who are trained in musketry – those who know about the Army would know about that – and other maneuvers and that it was suspected that the employees at the ranch were using gunshots and had 70 firearms, some of them unlicensed, and that the police were being denied entry. In summary, this letter says that the suspected illicit activities taking place at the ranch appeared to be poaching, game sporting, exports of live wild animals, drug- cultivation, human trafficking and other activities. I wish to table the letter. Why is the Ministry covering up the irregular activities going on in this ranch, some of which have been acknowledged by no less than a Permanent Secretary; that there are illegal firearms, poaching and the registered owner is now asking the police to withdraw so that he is able to take charge from this Mr. Nielsen?"
