19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I understand the question by hon. Yakub correctly, my answer is that no other stakeholder are allowed in a military base to do any investigations. We have checks and balances within the military bases; in this case it was the Eastleigh Air Base. I want to confirm to this House that there was absolutely no possibility of any criminal enterprise as the one alleged to have been carried out in the base. Therefore, we will continue to do continuous investigations by all the organs of the military. No evidence has been detected of the base ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question was directed to the Minister of State for Defence. In my view, I have adequately answered this Question as far as it is necessary. The issue of what action was taken was a supplementary one and it was answered so effectively by my colleague. He confirmed, in fact, that a protest note was sent.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the document. It was the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs who confirmed that they had sent a protest note to the embassy of the USA. It did not come from me. So, is the Question now being answered by two Ministries?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to seek your indulgence. Parts (a) and (b) of this Question relate to the issue of the allegations as made against a military base and it was directed to the Ministry of State for Defence. In my view, and you will agree with me, we have answered this Question satisfactorily. Should the hon. Member want to know more about the relations between Kenya and the USA, he should file another Question to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to seek your indulgence again that this Question is shifting from the Ministry of Defence. As far as we are concerned, we have answered this Question satisfactorily and if the hon. Members have diplomacy issues which they want to raise with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they should feel free to do so through a Question, but this Question has been satisfactorily answered.

19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm again that when this allegation was received, we carried out all investigations as the Ministry of State for Defence to ensure that those activities of drug trafficking and processing as it was alleged did not take place at Eastleigh Airbase. We communicated that to the other arms of Government – the Ministries concerned – the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. Therefore, again I want to seek your indulgence that the Ministry of State for Defence has successfully answered this Question. Any other ...

19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say I answered. I requested the Chair to rule that I had answered the Question satisfactorily and I still request that because all the matters that were asked by hon. Mwau have been covered satisfactorily in my view and there is nothing else remaining. But if they want further information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, then hon. Members are, of course, free to do so.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is through the collective responsibility that my colleague, the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs has given the House information, that following this, a protest note was sent to the United States of America Embassy.

19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Whatever, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has said that he sent a protest note and I think that was in the spirit of collective responsibility which has been exercised fully on the Floor of this House today.
