    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Sir, I stand to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Attorney-General on the activities of Calvary Temple of Kenya, based at Komora Centre in Eldoret Town. In the Statement that I am seeking from the Attorney-General, I would like him to confirm if Calvary Temple of Kenya is a registered Church, an NGO or a school, and if its registration has been done both in Kenya and the US. He should also confirm if the proprietor by the name Star R. Scott, is the same as Star R. Scott of Calvary Temple Evangelistic Enterprises in the US, which is widely alleged to be a cult known for separating families, parents and children. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Attorney-General also detail the current activities undertaken by the said organization in Eldoret Town, including whether they are licensed to run an informal education programme for school-aged children. Could he, further, in his Statement, confirm if the school-aged children currently housed in Komora Centre are undertaking studies under an approved Kenyan or US education system? Could he also confirm that Kenyan families have been victims of Calvary Church in Kenya, and specifically at the Komora Centre in Eldoret where young girls are being married off without the consent of their parents? Further, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he should explain the circumstances under which one Lorna Chemeli Koech was married off without the consent and knowledge of her parents after she dropped out of her university studies at the University of Nairobi. Could he also explain under what circumstances the mother of Lorna, one Mrs. Patricia Cherotich Sawe, was arrested instead of being assisted when she reported the case of her child being married off to the police? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rest my case."
