    "content": "(Prof. Saitoti): Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me say that upon the delivery of a Personal Statement by hon. Gideon Mbuvi, the Member of Parliament for Makadara, I decided to get more information from the Commissioner of Police, who has also submitted that information to me. To the extent that I do not want to take too much time of this House, I would like to confine myself to the salient points. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, I have received a statement from the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Matthew Iteere, stating that a team investigating allegations of drug trafficking in the country went to hon. Mbuvi’s office in order to interrogate him. When they did not find him, they went to Parliament upon contacting him through his mobile telephone. The Commissioner of Police has also stated that when the police officers were unable to get him, they were given his mobile telephone contact and they were able to reach him. According to the information given to me, he said that he was going to be in Parliament. He said that he would be able to meet them here. That is where they came. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Commissioner of Police also wants to confirm that, indeed, the police are carrying out investigation on hon. Mbuvi since he is one of the persons who have currently been mentioned in connection with drug trafficking. The Commissioner of Police has also confirmed that at no time did he belittle the hon. Member by referring to him as “so junior to talk to him”, although he actually talked to him on telephone when the hon. Member rang him; he asked him what he wanted to talk to the Commissioner of Police about. The Commissioner of Police said that at no time did he insult the hon. Member as he has alleged."
