    "content": "Embu is my neighbouring county. It is the headquarters of the Eastern Region. So, when the people of Embu are crying, we are crying with them. I want to say just two or two things. One, I feel the pain of my brother, Sen. Ndwiga. I feel the frustration of the people of Embu in the hands of these rogue police officers and the provincial administration. I feel them when they say that they want these people overhauled and maybe even transferred. I want to say here categorically that the tendency has always been that you commit a crime in one station and you are moved to another station. There should be no temptation to transfer those people to Kitui County. We do not want them. Let us start from there. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is really barbaric that at a time like this, the police who are supposed to provide security to people are now the ones who are killing these people. I want to take the statement that Sen. Orengo said a little further. By now, the CS should have said something about this matter. I dare say on the Floor of this House that the President himself should have addressed himself to this issue by now. These are young innocent fellows who were going about their small businesses. They were arrested and their bodies were found in a morgue two days later. That is a matter that calls for intervention from the highest office on the land. Lastly, as Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said, we cannot send the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to investigate this case. Let that matter come here. If need be, let us have a special sitting in the next 14 or 15 days to deal with this matter. The Inspector- General should be called to account to this matter. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
