    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to make the following Ministerial Statement that was requested by hon. Prof. Kamar and pursued by Mrs. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona, whom I think is around. It was on the activities of Calvary Temple of Kenya and she asked it on 8th June, 2010. The Office of the Prime Minister received serious allegations against the above mentioned church, which included influencing both parents and students to discontinue their education. Female students were being coerced into marriages by the church pastors and confiscation of their title deeds, log books and marriage certificates from some of the members. Concurrently, the Registrar-General in my office and the Commissioner of Police received similar complaints. Vide a letter dated 24th June, 2010, the Director of Public Prosecutions directed the Director of Criminal Investigations (CID) to investigate the matter. We are yet to receive the investigation file in spite of a reminder of the same. After talking to them, they have said that we will have the file within the next two weeks or so. Vide another letter dated 10th August, 2010, the Deputy Registrar of Societies wrote to the Director-General of the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) to probe the church activities and give us a report on the same. My office is yet to receive the report from the Director-General, NSIS and the CID. As soon as we receive the same, appropriate action will be taken in accordance with what is contained in the reports."
