It is probably waiting for the ballistic analysis report to confirm the rifle that discharged the bullets that killed the ladies. Hon. Speaker, maybe we should give it a bit of time. Once we resume from recess, we can follow up on this matter for additional response."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, I just want to make a general comment – that something should be wrong with what happened in Kilgoris and the current case. There is no discipline at all amongst police officers. The officers just act haphazardly. I do not know what we can do to instil discipline amongst officers so that when they are called upon to quell any disturbance, they can be orderly. From what we have been told, it seems that somebody was just shot haphazardly. Five people were killed in Kilgoris because the officers were shooting haphazardly. Hon. Speaker, we should do something. Police officers must be disciplined enough to be able to quell disturbances anywhere in the country without having to kill people. I do not know how we can go about it, but I am personally getting disturbed. If we do not say something about police indiscipline, the situation will get out of hand."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, I also want to make a general comment. Firstly, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security needs to sit down with the various heads of security agency formations, including the Inspector-General of Police and other security agency leaders. There is a serious disconnect between the citizens and the police. A few months ago, we saw a crowd of people chop off the hand of a police man somewhere in Narok County during an incident there. Yesterday, five people were killed by police officers. There is a need for the National Police Service to come up with a policy on how police officers can work well with wananchi. Secondly, we also need to sensitise our people to respect the law enforcement officers. I understand that it is when a police officer’s life is endangered that he can use his firearm. By so doing, police officers sometimes end up killing innocent people. Therefore, as a country, we need to look at how we can have our police work together and provide security and service to our people. The citizens should also obey the law enforcement officers."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, what happened in Hon. Mugabe’s place, Likuyani, is a cultural practice amongst the Luhya community. Where I come from, it is called Osola, w hich when translated means to take revenge against a confirmed assailant who causes death. I had a similar crisis in my constituency about three weeks ago. Luckily enough, we did not lose any lives, but we lost a lot of property. There was no injury to the police. Only eight policemen were deployed to tackle a crowd of about 200 people. That is why we are saying that the National Police Service probably needs to study the cultural context of such eventualities and know how to manage them. Sending eight police officers to control 200 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

This is a debate that the National Police Service needs to have because the people's anger against anything resembling the government is so heavy and deep. Therefore, as a country, we must have a discourse at the earliest moment possible. Otherwise, we will continue to have fatalities from both civilians and the police whenever such issues arise. It is a debate that we cannot sweep under the carpet. We must have it now and not later. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
