    "content": "Although I have this eyes handicap, I am glad that the Chairman of the Committee has very ably introduced the report and gone into the details on how the Committee undertook its work and whom they interviewed. The most important civil society organizations in this area made their submissions. I have in mind, Human Rights Agenda (HURIA) and Muslims for Human Rights MUHURI. The Human Rights Development Agenda made their submissions too. The most important offices which are operating in this area made extensive submissions. These are the office of the AG, Dir DPP, KNHRC and IPOA. We have been told that they even carried out in situ investigations, particularly in Kwale and Mombasa counties. They received firsthand information from the families of the victims. I do not want to go into all that because the Chairman has gone into it in a great detail and the recommendations that have made. I want to put on record which is why this topic is very dear to me. I was privileged to have been appointed in 1980 as a first Thematic Special Rapporteur of the United National Commission on Human Rights on the issue of arbitrary executions. For the next 11 years up to the time I was appointed as the Attorney General I carried that mantle. I used to go all over the world investigating arbitrary executions in various countries where it was extremely extensive. We have in mind particularly countries in South America, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Surinam, Ecuador and all the others. I had a privilege to visit to investigate these phenomena of arbitrary executions."
