    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the response from my Chairperson with respect to the fact that it is an interim report from IPOA. It is more reflective of the incident that took place on the ground than what was reported in the police station in the OB. The OB reported that the police officer shot in the air and that he was shot in the chest and the bullet went through his back. That is contradictory because from experience, there is no way a bullet shot in the air comes back and hits the chest and exits from the back. The IPOA interim report is more reliable. I expect that justice will be served to the family of the late and action taken with respect to the statement I had given. There should be transfer of the officers who have overstayed in that station because they have lost productivity and are now focused on corruption, rather than work. There is information that there are officers who have been in Malaba Police Station since 2008. There are complaints by the public. Last week on Friday evening, officers arrested illicit brewers and those without masks. The scenario is that they are taken to the station to stay there over the weekend as demands for cash ranging from Kshs3000, Kshs5,000 and Kshs10,000 are solicited from them. Because the cells are full and these people are suffering, some end up paying so that they are released. Those who end up in court on Monday are those who cannot afford to give the cash. I appreciate this interim report and expect that we will see justice in the final report. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
