I want to thank him for bringing out the truth to the public about what happened during this raid at the premises of the Standard Group. I do not what to repeat what he has said. However, I would like to concentrate mostly on what Kenyans saw on their televisions and what took the country into a panic when our country was being taken over by foreigners. When the premises of the Standard Group were raided, many issues were kept in the dark. The first was the identity of the hooded men who walked in the premises of the Standard Group. Secondly, it was the involvement of the police or the security arm of this country. Thirdly, it was the political connection. I am happy to note that this Committee did its work and in investigating this matter, it was able to get information from the then Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Mr. John Michuki who confirmed, according to the Report, that this was a raid that was done under the supervision of the security intelligence of this country. To me, that smirks of arrogance and this is what we call “impunity”. We never know what it is, but this is what impunity is. If you can remember, during that time, when Mr. Michuki was asked about the raid, he arrogantly answered back that “if you rattle a snake, you must be ready to be bitten”. Those were the famous words of Mr. Michuki. Up to today he is a Minister in Government and yet such reports have confirmed to the House the level to which he perpetuates impunity. With regard to the containers that were allowed to come into the country, there is definitely a question mark. How could containers whose contents were not verified be cleared through the Port of Mombasa? It is common knowledge that Kenya has become a leading drug centre. We have been in the news of late on the issue of drugs and yet no"
