    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware of the judgment delivered in Criminal Case No.51 of 2005 on 18th September, 2007. But the Court’s directive was not that I prosecute, but that I order professional criminal investigations to be conducted in respect to some witnesses to establish whether the offences of perjury and conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice had been committed and, if so, to prosecute the same. (b) Prior to the conclusion of the case, the Attorney-General had already become aware and had come to the same conclusion as the court itself and had directed the Director of Criminal Investigations to carry out further investigations as follows: (i) whether Michael Waweru and John Maina Waweru recorded and signed the statements on record, (ii) record statements from the officers who recorded statements of the two persons referred to in (i) above confirming or denying having recorded statements of the aforementioned two persons, (iii) record a statement from one Mr. Moseti about his alleged role in the recording of the statements of the two, (iv) take specimen signatures and handwritings of the two aforementioned persons; that is, Michael Waweru and John Maina Waweru, as well as the statements of the two to the handwriting experts for his opinion. (v) Charge and caution statements to be taken from the two when investigations are complete. (vi) Carry out further or other investigations that are pertinent to the case. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General is yet to receive the investigation file."
