"content": "(Prof. Saitoti): Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, true that on Thursday, 17th February, 2011, Mr. William Kabogo, Member of Parliament for Juja Constituency rose on a point of order requesting for a Ministerial Statement on the presence of KK Guards at his residence. In the Statement, he sought clarification on the circumstances under which the American Ambassador, Michael Rannerberger, sent four KK armed guards to his house on Saturday, 13th February, 2011 to check whether he was in and how the fence to his compound is made. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to state as follows: After consultations with the Embassy of the United States of America, we have been informed that the American Embassy does not know anything about the alleged incident. I have also asked the police as to whether the said act ever took place. Again, the answer has been ânoâ on that particular matter. I would like to say that Mr. Kabogo did see me on Friday at 10.00 a.m., as I had indicated here. At that particular time, I informed Mr. Kabogo to also give the details to the police. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member did at that particular time inform me that while we were in this House, his bodyguard had already been withdrawn from him. Of course, I was surprised. I am also surprised that today Mr. Kabogo says that I am the one who withdrew his bodyguard. I do not see how I could have withdrawn them while I was here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, be as it may, I took the necessary action and I assured him that his bodyguards would be restored. I am now in a position to state as follows: Two security personnel have already been posted to Mr. Kabogo. For avoidance of doubt, the security officers are as follows: Police Constable No.78---"
