    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the circumstances surrounding the arrest and charging in court of the hon. Mike Mbuvi Kioki, the MP for Makadara. I wish to ask the Minister to clarify in his Ministerial Statement the following issues. The first issue is to confirm or deny whether there is political pressure being put upon the police to arrest, embarrass, expose hon. Mbuvi to public audium and eventually force him to resign as the Member for Makadara Constituency, Nairobi County. If that is not so, could he tell us why the police did not execute the warrants as far back as 1998 and chose only to do so four months after his election as the hon. Member for Makadara. Secondly, he should clarify why, on 24th November, 2010, which was yesterday, while in police custody, the hon. Member was being asked to sign a letter of resignation addressed to Mr. Speaker to resign as the hon. Member for Makadara in exchange for peace and for the withdrawal of the charges. Why is it that all this time before he became an MP and he has not left the country, no warrant of arrest was effected? If it is not political, why is it that the MP whose House is in Buruburu and only 500 metres or less from the police station, has not been arrested all these years? If this is not political why"
