What is the question?

11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government has studied the recommendations of the Report and has decided that releasing it would not be in the best interest of our national security. There are issues in the Report which touch on immigration, customs and clearance in respect of our airports that can be best handled by our security agents. This is already being done by the Government.

11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to engage in any speculation. The Report has nothing to do with the killing of anybody. However, it touches on the security of our airports and how to strengthen it and make it even better. We feel that it is better when that is handled by the Government other than having it discussed in public. It is for the security of our country.

11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already explained that commissions of inquiry are sometimes held so as to advise the Government on what measures to take on certain issues. I said that issues that are raised in this Report dwell on our national security which we think does not augur well if it is released to be discussed in public. The Report, as I said, touches on the security and clearance at our airports, customs and other sensitive matters which we think if kept out of the public domain, it would be better for this country.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as usual, Mr. Raila is making wild allegations and he always likes to talk about State House and State Lodges. However, the Act does not require a Report to be made public. There are very many things that the Government does using public funds that are intended for Government consumption to help us take care of the public. It is the responsibility of the Government to take care of the public. This Report has made very pertinent recommendations and we think it will not be necessary to discuss them in public.

11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know of any innocent Kenyan who was sacked. If you facilitate the breach of our security in our airports, you are not innocent. In fact, action is supposed to be taken on you. The question on how much the Kiruki Commission cost is really another one. I can bring that information later. The Question was simply asking about the release of the Report.

11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if Mr. Ojode decided to ask a Question specifically on those who were sacked, we are ready to give the information. However, they were sacked because they were not able to do their job properly.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was explaining that if Mr. Ojode decided to ask a Question on these specific individuals and the reasons why they were sacked, I am ready to answer that Question.
