"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the things that also shocked me is our laws. A Presidential directive, in my opinion, is one of the sources of law in the context of Kenya. We have the Constitution, delegated legislation, statutes and common law. When hon. Yano visited His Excellency--- That itself is being disputed and I need to put it on the record. We have a letter in our possession written by the Permanent Secretary saying they do not know Senator Yano. I want to put it on record that Senator Yano is the President of the Upper House of the Government of Japan. He is a very important person. He came here in 2008 and had a meeting with His Excellency the President. As a result of that meeting, His Excellency the President put a request to Senator Yano. I am sure the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have time to revise or look at the documentation in their file. This letter dated 22nd July, 2008 was addressed to our Ambassador in Tokyo. It talks about the meeting between His Excellency the President and Senator Yano. In the process His Excellency requested Senator Yano to get us a prime plot for the construction of both a chancery and an ambassadorâs residence."
