"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Statement by Sen. Shiyonga on the mistreatment vested upon Mercy Cherono in Olenguruone, Nakuru County. This is related to the Statement that was presented by Sen. (Eng.) Hargura on the extrajudicial killings or extrajudicial behaviour by our Police Service. Maybe as a country we need to relook at the content of the training of our Police Service. What exactly are they trained on? Across the country, in all stations, the behaviour of the police officers is similar. What are they told that they are going to do out here? If a police officer can drag a young woman across a long distance, making her get very serious body injuries, and people around try to persuade him that what he was doing is wrong, what exactly was going on in the mind of that police officer? I join my colleague, Sen. Shiyonga, and other Members, although this Statement is under Standing Order 47 (1), to call upon to you to direct this Statement to the relevant Committee, so that other issues including that of Mercy Cherono are handled. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
