    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to raise a grave matter as stated above. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the disappearance of Wanjala Masten, a suspected serial killer who had been detained at Jogoo Police Station. On Wednesday 13th October 2021, we were shocked to learn of the escape from custody of Masten Wanjala, a man who was facing charges of murder, and who was due to appear in court yesterday over the suspected murder of 14 children, three of whom were from Kamukunji Constituency. Parents of the deceased children who were meant to testify in the court of law against Mr. Wanjala were left in shock when they found out that the dangerous criminal was no longer in custody of the police. Such a dangerous killer is now on the run and poses real danger to our children and the public at large. It is against this background that I seek an urgent Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: 1. Could the Chairperson explain what led to the escape of such a dangerous alleged killer? 2. Could the Chairperson further explain what measures are being taken to quickly apprehend the wanted criminal, who is now on the run? 3. Could the Chairperson explain what measures are being taken to give protection to parents and other witnesses who were to testify against Mr. Wanjala? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
