    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Naomi Shiyonga has brought in an important Statement and that is why I raised the issue of the Committee that we reflect on these issues. The National Police Service changed from the National Police Force, meaning that it should be about “ Utumishi kwa wote ”. The Inspector General has really been trying to reform the police and we must give him accolades, starting with the former, Boinet and now Mutyambai. In fact, yesterday he was online talking to Kenyans about the issues there. There are a few rotten elements within the police force and we should not do a mob lynching of the entire police service. There are very many good officers in this country who put their lives on the line daily for us and risk their lives. Many of them do not live in a life of dignity that is commensurate to the sacrifice that they make for this country. However, there are a few of them who are giving the Police Service a very bad name. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a few months ago, I brought a Statement here about Yassin Moyo, a 13-year-old boy who was killed at the balcony of their home in Kiamaiko when they just started implementing the curfew. When our children are at home, we know they are at the safest place they can be. He was at the balcony and not outside. He was not going against the curfew. A police officer by the name Patrick Ndiema angles his gun because they had their light on. He aimed at that young boy at the balcony and shot him. The boy told his mother that he had been shot. The mother thought it was a joke and said, “ wewe huwa namchezo sana. ” The boy died shortly thereafter. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
