RAILA TELLS PARLIAMENT ARMENIAN BROTHERS BACK
Owino Opondo

The Nation, Kenya
April 11 2007

Lang’ata MP Raila Odinga today claimed in Parliament that the deported
Armenian brothers are back in the country.

Mr Odinga, who first revealed the brothers’ presence in the country,
told the House they were once again enjoying State security and
hospitality.

He said the two, Artur Margaryan and Artur Sargsyan were recently
spotted in Mombasa and at Nakuru State Lodge.

The Armenians were deported from Kenya after causing a security breach
at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport where they attempted to
force a guest through the customs desk without clearance.

Soon after being ejected from the country, police raided their rented
residence where they recovered firearms, bullets, unregistered
vehicles, registration plates for local, GK and diplomatic corps
vehicles, security cameras, and an assortment of military uniforms.

The Langata member spoke as MPs demanded that the findings of the
Kiruki Commission be made public.

Internal Security assistant minister Peter Munya discounted Mr
Odinga’s claims: "These are wild allegations because the MP (Raila)
is always dreaming about State House and State Lodges."

He was answering a question by Ndhiwa MP Orwa Ojodeh who wanted to
know when the minister will release the Kiruki Commission Report on the
two Armenian brothers which was presented to the President last year.

Mr Munya responded that the report will not be made public because
due to security considerations.

The Government had studied the report and realized it touched on
sensitive national security issues such as the Immigration, customs,
and airports.
