    "content": "public. That was the inquiry into the Artur Brothers. The Report on the Cockar Commission on the sale of Grand Regency was again a public inquiry. What is a state security here or is it a matter of opaqueness? On the Report of Inquiry into the Raid on Retired Archbishop Gitari’s House, I did not ask the Assistant Minister to get us the Occurrence Book (OB) from Wang’uru Police Station. This was an inquiry ordered by the former President into the matter. Since it was never released, we now have acquired a right to demand the information. Similarly, the Chesoni Report on the Kirinyaga/Embu Land Dispute was again a public inquiry. Chesoni went all over the country. We have now acquired a right. I want to read as a basis for my Question Section 35 of the Constitution: Access to information. It says: “Every citizen has a right of access to information held by the State and information held by another person and required for the exercise or protection of any right or fundamental freedom. The state shall publish and publicize any important information affecting the nation”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are undergoing reforms. We need to know what went wrong so that we can correct it in the course of reforms. Is the Assistant Minister in order to fail to answer the Question and even in the case of the Akiwumi Report, which has never been tabled in this House, claim that we can buy it from the Government Printer? We want it in the House to be able to debate it. Is the Assistant Minister in order to refuse to bring the report to the House and therefore contravene Section 35 of the Constitution, which I have read to the House?"
