    "content": "of that Committee and I did inform the Chairperson. However, because of the public interest in this issue, I wish to ask the following: (i) Has the police officer responsible for the killing of Mr. Odera been arrested and arraigned in court? (ii) What specific compensation shall the Government accord the family of the late in the light of the fact that he was a bread winner and an innocent victim of police recklessness? (iii) What specific procedures are police officers expected to follow in ensuring adherence to COVID-19 protocols and other aspects of routine patrol in order to avoid unnecessary tension and confrontations with members of the public? (iv) What immediate action is the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government taking to transfer police officers who have served at stations in Teso North Constituency for more than three years? Hon. Speaker, I would like to mention that the public explanation of eyewitnesses indicates that this young man was shot because he did not wear a mask. Something of interest is that, in the police occurrence book (OB), the indication is that the officer shot in the air to disperse the crowd. That does not add up because this young man was neither in the air nor in any tall building. He was a bystander on the ground. Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me that opportunity."
