    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I will consider that. First, I condole with the family of this particular man from Kahawa West who was killed by the police. It is sad that the police whom we expect to assist us to save lives have ironically turned to be the risk in the society. We have been speaking here every week on several Statements concerning police brutality in our country. It is time we get into another serious position as the Senate so that we save the lives of innocent Kenyans who are killed by the police. Madam Temporary Speaker, I plead with you that the Committee that will take over this matter to take it seriously. If possible, we could call the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mutyambai, to appear before the Committee of the Whole so that most of the questions that we have in our minds and hearts may be answered by him. If he cannot, we should call upon him to resign. I think that he is defeated. We are ashamed that when he was appointed, we showered him with a lot of praise. We had a lot of expectations from him. It is very unfortunate. Killings in this country are rising every now and then and this is quite sad. I call upon him to resign if possible and give another person who is capable of controlling all these issues to take over and bring peace to this country. If it is getting to this high rate at this time, what about next year during the campaigns and elections? It will be worse."
