    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Statement by Sen. Ndwiga. My deepest condolences goes to the family of the university students who lost their lives during this operation. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is painful when the police become trigger happy in shooting. This should not be the case. Police officers are armed to protect citizens. This is an issue that needs to be investigated and necessary action taken. I condemn this act in the strongest terms possible. I believe the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Hon. (Dr.) Matiang’i, has the ability to intervene and ensure there is peace in Embu and ensure police do their work diligently in accordance to law. The police should not push our people to take the law in their hands and revenge. We do not want see people becoming unlawful and there is going to be a lot of police murder. I believe that the CS has the ability to intervene with speed and ensure that he brings down these careless killings of innocent people by police officers. Sometimes I wonder whether these officers have any feeling. Madam Temporary Speaker, I suggest these police officers who did this heinous act should be brought to book. They used their weapons in a very inhumane and underserving way. As I said, they are supposed to provide security to all citizens. Sometimes when you meet thugs at night they can slap you for having few coins, but if you meet the police you do not know how they will behave. They may kill you and your body found elsewhere hidden to conceal evidence. There is need for them stop being rogue and provide security for the people in this country."
