    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the adoption of this Report. I would like to commend the mover, Mr. Gitobu Imanyara, for having the guts and taking the initiative to bring this Report for adoption. For those of us who have had the opportunity to look into the Report, every page is shocking. If you open any page, apart from where we have the names of those who attended the meeting, every statement is shocking. Some of the issues raised in the Report like illegalities may have happened in places where not everybody in this country saw. For those of us who saw what happened at the Standard Group premises and if that is what was intended by this group and whoever was protecting them, then it is a very serious matter. It is important that this Report is adopted by this House so that it can get into the public domain so that Kenyans can know what they are living with. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I wonder why the same Government which allowed the Kiruki Commission to conduct--- And the terms of reference were very well spelt out. They are contained at the back of the Report in the Kenya Gazette Notice of 13th June 2006. The Commission was generally to inquire into the circumstances and events leading to the deportation of the said persons et cetera. If you look at the issue of illegalities on page 15 of the Report, there are crazy issues; you find that for all intents and purposes, the issuance of work permits to the Artur Brothers was done in rather unusual circumstances. I find this very serious because under normal circumstances, the process takes long. I know there are a number of people who come here and want to get work permits and even become citizens. I know it takes a long time because it has to go through a long process. People have to apply and get recommendations from various places. They have to get to the Immigration Department, the NSIS and a lot of other processes. However, this was being done at a very high speed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on page 30 there is the irregular issuance of security passes. There is a section on blank passports for the Artur Brothers. It is alleged that blank passports disappeared from the offices at the airport. It was found that there is a lady who was working there and it is alleged that the passports were taken but eventually found. They are passport No.A1031195 and A1031196. They were later"
