12 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me come to the last item, and that is the gazettement of the work of the IEBC. The Bill is very silent on the penalties that will be imposed on any individual who does not gazette the work of the commission. Last year, this House experienced a problem and yet the law was very clear. The Government Printer had been instructed to gazette the work of the IIBRC, but that was not done.

10 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, my substantive Minister responded to this Question on Wednesday, 4th May, 2011. However, the hon. Member raised a supplementary question seeking to know the names of the owners of the companies which were reportedly involved in the shipment of the consignment of ivory tusks.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have just said that the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife--- You must realize that we have the Customs Department at the Port of Mombasa, which is under the KRA.

This is the reason we have written to KRA requesting them to give us the information that the hon. Member has sought. Up to now, we have not received that feedback.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is well and good. If the hon. Member has the information, could he share it with us? However, as far as I am concerned, we wrote to KRA and they have not responded to our letter up to now.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that we have made an effort to write to the relevant Government offices that keep such information. We have written to the Registrar of Companies to provide us with that information. We have also written to KRA to give us further details on the export documents which they have not yet done.
