    "content": "continues to witness cases of abduction, some in broad daylight, and extrajudicial killings by police officers especially during demonstrations against corruption and the high cost of living. It is worrying that while some of those who were abducted have been found alive, others have been murdered and their bodies dumped in swamps, dump sites and mortuaries across the country. Additionally, whereas police officers are required to identify themselves, officers in civilian clothes have in the recent past failed to identify themselves while targeting peaceful protesters and abducting citizens across the country. This has caused distress to the families and the next of kin of those affected. As you may be aware, this afternoon the court has made a decision that the police officers going out to these demonstrations must show their faces and badges. It is against this background, that I request for a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following: 1. A detailed report on the number of people arrested during the demonstrations in June, July and August 2024 and the offenses that the said persons were charged with. 2. A list of the names of those who lost their lives during these demonstrations across the country. 3. A tabulation of the number of unaccounted bodies in each public mortuary across the country. 4. A report on the number of persons reported missing across the country as per the police records. I thank you."
