Lang’ata MP Mr Raila Odinga wants the Kiruki report touching on the
controversial Artur brothers and the presence of mercenaries in Kenya,
made public.

Raila said that several months after the commission completed its
investigations on the alleged Armenians’ presence in the country,
the Government has not released its findings to the public.

"Kenyans are eager to know the commission’s findings on the two
brothers who posed a security risk," said Raila.

Addressing a campaign rally at Kapsoas in Ainamoi constituency,
Kericho District on Sunday, Raila said the Government should clear
its name on the Artur brothers’ saga.

He said: "The Government was adversely mentioned in the Artur brothers’
saga and it should come out clear over the issue."

MPs, Mr Joseph Nyaga, Mr Kipkalya Kones, Mr Ochilo Ayacko, Prof Ayiecho
Olweny, Mr Peter Odoyo and ODM-Kenya leaders, Mr Odunga Mamba and
Mr Tony Gachoka, accompanied the Lang’ata MP. Raila said he revealed
the presence of the Artur brothers and their dirty missions but the
Government dismissed him.

The MP noted the Government spent taxpayers’ money on the commission
and it should make its report public.

He questioned why the Government had stopped pursuing the Armenians’
saga for them to face the law. The Armenians are believed to be behind
the raid at The Standard premises that left a trail of destruction.
