    "content": "It does not help. They go there with armed with AK47s, as if they are going to arrest a robber, yet it is a legislator. We need to make it abundantly clear that any public officer who is involved extrajudicial killings, takes personal responsibility. We should not have any vicarious responsibility in this case. Any policeman who shoots anybody without justification, must be arrested and charged with a homicide. Whether it is murder or manslaughter, that will be the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). We must make it difficult and painful for people who engage in extrajudicial killings of our people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard of the case the other day of a lawyer, Mr. Nandwa and his client, who just disappeared. A week later, we were told he was dropped by some vehicle in Mwingi. I am told he has refused to talk. We do not know what they did to him. I would encourage Mr, Nandwa, as a learned friend and as a custodian of peoples’ right, to come forward and tell us so that we can stop this kind of behavior. His client is gone; we do not know where he is."
