    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the beauty of being a Commissioner is that I know the list of the people who have travelled. I can tell when Sen. Cheruiyot was out of the country last, how many times he has travelled and where Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was last week. I know these things, but I do not want to say it. I would like to inform Sen. Cheruiyot that the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Madzayo, is not out there carrying sufurias, he is out there mourning with many Kenyans who have lost their lives due to the brutality; not from you, but from our police officers. I want you to really empathise. Sen. Cheruiyot, anything that touches on human rights of Kenyans; Sen. Cherarkey and even Sen. Lelegwe Ltumbesi will tell you, is not something we take lightly. We have fought for this democracy for a long time. We disagree. I have sat in this House and seen very heated debate. Sen. Murkomen from that end and Sen. Orengo from this end. We all say it is a celebration of the diversity and the democracy that we enjoy as a country. Anything that touches on innocent lives of Kenyans, women or children being taken away, even if it is your brother or your sister, I will condemn it. That is why the Senate Minority Leader is not here. We should all speak with one voice. When it comes to police brutality, we should condemn it. You remember what Mzee, the late Sen. Haji, then as Chairperson of Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations did when there was a small hint of police trying to brutalise Kenyans and even our Senators. When they arrested Sen. Lelegwe Ltumbesi and Sen. Malala, if you remember, Mzee Haji summoned the Inspector General (IG) to this House. He said he will not tolerate any person taking away The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
