HOUSE TO DEBATE ON ARTUR BROTHERS.

Caption: MPs will be seeking to compel the government to release the
Kiruki inquiry report on the activities of Artur brothers.
Parliament will adjourn its proceedings later on Thursday to debate
on the Kiruki Commission report on the activities of the deported
Artur Brothers.
Ndhiwa Member of Parliament Orwa Ojode is expected to move the
motion that seeks to compel the government to release the Kiruki
inquiry report.
The motion comes a week after the government stated it would not make
the report public citing security reasons.
The debate is expected to kick off at 4.30 PM local time, two hours
before the closure of business.
This is after Deputy speaker David Musila granted Ndhiwa Member of
Parliament Orwa Ojode time to introduce the motion.
On Wednesday, Ojode wrote to the House speaker expressing his intention
to rise on adjournment motion to discuss the controversial report.
Last week assistant minister for internal security Peter Munya said
that the government would not release the report on the Armenian
brothers, as it would compromise National Security.
The Kiruki commission completed its work and handed the report to
President Mwai Kibaki last August.
