The investigations found out that it is one Mr. Okoth who was culpable and he has been arraigned in court. Ms. Yugeri Brokerage is also being investigated by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) and up to now, they have not been given a licence even to operate the brokerage because of involving themselves in activities which are not part of what they are licensed to do. view

• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to request that this Question be deferred. That is because the Question had originally been directed to the Ministry of Education, but was referred to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance recently. There is some information we have not been able to get. We were ready to present it any time next week, but the Member has told me that he will not be in next week. So, I request that it comes when the Member will be back after next week. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that this Question came last week and we canvassed it here. There is a table from which I was reading the breakdown. But the Members intervened and said that they had not seen it. They wanted to have time to interrogate it before we could continue. So, perhaps, we could proceed if hon. Members have looked at the table. I hope they have seen it and they can interrogate me from there. view
