"content": "cannibal. It was an irony because he was supposed to be the security agent, but he became an insecurity agent. We are ashamed of the National Police Service in this country because they have become insecurity forces instead of safeguarding our society. They are the most feared people in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other day, we heard the President apologizing when the police killed a young boy by the name Yassin Moyo. It was a great shame. How long will he keep on apologizing over brutality perpetuated by the police? It is a shame to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination and also to the Inspector- General of Police. We condemn the police brutality in our country in the strongest terms possible. We want to see these cases being given priority when they get to court. We would like to hear the judges pronouncing stiff sentences to those officers who are using their guns to kill innocent Kenyans. The law enforcement is also lenient on them. We want to see them jailed for a longer period of time, so that their colleagues can learn a lesson. I watched with a lot sympathy when the President was apologizing. How long will he keep on apologizing for crimes committed by his officers? I want to conclude by saying that the police have turned to become home guards. Soon we will demand to know the new colonial master who they are serving in this country. I thank you."
