Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Member for Suba, hon. John Mbadi, requested a Statement regarding investigations on abuse of narcotic drugs in the country. The hon.

A copy of a criminal complaint and provincial report was subsequently tabled before the National Assembly on 17th February, 2011. The Member further ...

27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
I wish to respond as follows:- Investigations pertaining to narcotic drug trafficking was conducted vide Inquiry File No.3/2013. The inquiry file was compiled and interim report was forwarded to then Commissioner of Police vide DRUG/Invet./Vol.1/76 dated February, 2011. However, the CID Headquarters vide CID/SEC/LCA/4/A/Vol.1/1/60 recommended further investigations, with statements to be recorded from persons considered likely to have vital information, arguing that the facts covered in the inquiry were insufficient to incriminate the suspects, for the purpose of prosecution.

This was done vide CID/NAR/GEN//6/VOL.1/66 dated 25th April, 2013, but no crucial leads were established. Investigations are still ongoing based on the inquiry recommendations that the assets of the suspects be investigated. Lastly, the inquiry findings were not specific on who is actually responsible. The inquiry had recommended further profiling and surveillance on the suspects and their assets, through the guidance of the Attorney-General. Once investigations are completed, the final report will be tabled in this House. That is the Statement and I thank you.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to confirm to the Chair that during the last Parliament, that is the 10th Parliament, I can remember this issue raising a lot of heat in the House. I want to confirm to hon. Ng’ongo that this report was laid before this House and it was actually submitted and quite a number of prominent people were mentioned. I want to say that the report indicated that four of these prominent people were Members of Parliament. They were investigated but there was no evidence that could incriminate them. I want to ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the House recommended that the other balance of individuals should actually be investigated and the report be laid on the Table of this House.

27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I would agree with hon. Ng’ongo that because we do not have a report on the balance of the individuals, who are fairly very senior in this country; the investigations are on their assets. The contradiction the hon. Member is raising is actually true and that is why I want to recommend that on Tuesday next, I want to call the Cabinet Secretary, Attorney- General and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to clarify the matter because we cannot go on with investigations forever. We must bring the investigations to a stop and ...
