"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Article 26 of the Constitution guarantees the right of every person to life, and that no person shall be deprived of life intentionally; further aware that Article 35 provides for the right of access to all important information by all; cognizant of the fact that national leaders and their families form an integral part of national being that builds and helps in forging unity; concerned that several national leaders and/or prominent personalities including the late Hon. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, the late Hon. Sen. Otieno Kajwang’ and the late Fidel Castro Odinga have lost their lives in unclear circumstances in the last two years; further concerned that the causes of death of those prominent national leaders have been shrouded in mystery creating unnecessary anxiety among different groups of people; this House resolves to establish a Select Committee to comprehensively investigate and inquire into the causes of death of the three personalities, consider and review all related findings on the deaths and table its report within ninety (90) days, and approves the following Members to constitute the Committee:- (i) Hon. Ken Obura, MP – Chairperson (ii) Hon. Soipan Tuya, MP – Vice-Chairperson (iii) Hon. Ababu Namwamba, EGH, MP; (iv) Hon. Adan Keynan, CBS, MP; (v) Hon. Aisha Juma, MP; (vi) Hon. Bare Shill, MP; (vii) Hon. Charles Mongare Geni, MP; (viii) Hon. Florence Kajuju, MP; (ix) Hon. Jared Opiyo, MP; (x) Hon. Dennis Waweru, MP; (xi) Hon. Mary Emaase, MP; (xii) Hon. Michael Kisoi, MP; (xiii) Hon. Sabina Chege, MP; (xiv) Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a, MP; and, (xv) Hon. (Dr.) Robert Pukose, MP. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in moving this Motion, I seek to the end speculations and anxiety that has gripped this nation over the last two years. I must say that this country has a history of unresolved mysterious deaths. As a country, we are in danger of going that same direction; of history repeating itself. One of the best things in life is to learn to know that which you do not know. As at now, we do not know the causes of death of Hon. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, Hon. Sen. Otieno Kajwang and Fidel Castro Odinga. I move this Motion today to seek to know the causes of death of those personalities. I must say that a lot of people have asked me to try and amend this Motion to include the late hon. George Muchai, who passed on while still serving as the Member of Parliament for Kabete. The intention here is different. In the case of the late hon. Muchai, we are, at least, aware that he was gunned down. However, in those three cases, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
