I condole with the family of Mr Ojwang’ and ask IPOA to ensure that they investigate this matter and bring those who were involved to book. Many people from the North Rift are suffering in the hands of bandits and yet, the police are just joyriding around town here looking for what people are writing on X and Facebook. They are not going for those bandits. They must take their work seriously."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also wish to send my condolences to the family of the late Ojwang’ on his unfortunate demise in the hands of some rogue officers. Indeed, it is unfortunate that, at this time, after we passed a new Constitution making the police force a service, we still have people who are behaving in the manner that we have seen. I would want to call on the President to ensure that the police who are behind the death of Ojwang’, who are tainting the name of the police, are charged and prosecuted. It should be fast, because justice delayed is justice denied. The problem we have seen in this country is that, sometimes, people are arrested but when the anger goes down, the case disappears. To show seriousness, this case should be fast-tracked. If IPOA is not in a position to investigate, the Government should employ the services of external forces and investigators. This is something that the Government has occasionally done and for us to have confidence, they may need to consider it. This is because it is really unfortunate that a young person should be killed in such a manner. Sometimes, I understand the frustration among members of the public. However, Members of Parliament are not the ones who are responsible for the death. We are also feeling the same pain. Those of us who come from Homa Bay County feel more pain because we do not want people in our county, or even Kenyans, to be killed. I insist that people from Homa Bay County should not be killed. This is because just the other day, we lost Hon. Ong’ondo Were and now we have lost another man, who is almost a neighbour to the late Member of Parliament. We would like to see seriousness in the way the Government will deal with this matter. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to also join the rest of the House and Kenyans in conveying condolences to the family of the late Albert Ojwang’. It is, indeed, sad to lose such a young man under unclear circumstances. This has put the integrity of our National Police Service (NPS) into question, especially when they give a statement which, on the face of it, does not make sense. We urge the NPS, IPOA and everyone who is investigating the case to do the best they can to unravel the mystery so that justice is served to the family of that young man who passed away under those circumstances. Sometimes, we wonder why the NPS conducts itself in the way it has done. What begs the question is whether the syllabus has changed since the colonial days. We know very well that during the state of emergency, we had many extrajudicial killings. Has this been carried on to date? Are there officers, whether senior or junior, who are giving instructions to have young men executed? These are the questions we should be asking ourselves. It is high time we looked at the qualifications and training of police officers. There may be something wanting. We should scrutinize the entry point level and the training that police officers get at Kiganjo Police Training College. Times have changed and we must now live to the expectations. Justice must be done at all times. We must condemn extrajudicial killings to the fullest. It should not be condoned. This House should continue to condemn it day-in, day-out.

I wish to inform the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security that this matter is causing a lot of anxiety. The explanations coming out, for those of you who have read the book Biko, sounds like a Steve Biko story. I direct the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to bring a preliminary report and statement to the House on Thursday at 2.30 p.m., to inform the House and the country on the progress so far made in the investigations. We also need some response to the issues raised by Hon. Jared Okello, on behalf of Hon. Eve Obara, Hon. Passaris, Hon. Millie, Hon. Murugara and Hon. Bowen. I am aware that Thursday is Budget Day, but we will have half an hour before it starts. I know many Members have issues on this but hold your horses. When the statement comes on Thursday, I will give you an opportunity to contribute. Hon. Tongoyo."
