Drama was witnessed during a meeting called by the Senate on forced disappearances of young fishermen in Lake Nakuru after Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) Director General Erastus Kanga disowned a report tabled by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR).

Kanga told the Senate National Security, Defence and Foreign Committee that it was unfair for him to be expected to respond to a report tabled by KNHCR that was mentioning the organisation he was heading adversely, without him having a copy of what had been tabled so that he could respond adequately.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna wondered what Kanga was fearing and that he should allow KNCHR to make a presentation and if he was not comfortable with what was tabled, he does not have to respond, but should seek time to respond at a later time when he is ready, instead of thrashing the report.
