    "content": "First and foremost, it is close to one month or there about since this officer was reported to have died in Washington DC. Since his death, there have been conflicting statements. A statement from the police was suggesting that this officer had gone for some training in the USA but the family of the deceased officer was categorical that he was part of a mission that had been sent to Haiti. The family is now helpless. Four weeks down the road, they have not been told what killed their kin. They have also not been told when to expect the body of their kin. However, more fundamentally, if indeed it is true that this officer was part of a mission to Haiti, who authorised that mission against the court order? The court ruled that any police mission to Haiti remains unconstitutional until certain conditions are met under the law and the Constitution. I, therefore, ask that the Chairman of the relevant Committee to compel the concerned Cabinet Secretary to come and tell the whole country, in addition to the family, how this helpless officer found himself thousands of miles away and was allowed to die a solitary death while on a mission that remains unclear to date. Is this how we treat our police officers? Why should we use them and later on send them to some unknown missions? The officer is dead. the family is agonising, but we have remained quiet."
