    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all heard President Ruto during the campaigns tell the country that under his administration, abductions and disappearances of persons, and extrajudicial killings will be a thing of the past. We continue to hear him say that his is a Government that observes the rule of the law. As we speak today, the Acting Inspector General (IG) of Police has been convicted and is subject to a six-month jail term, just because he has been instructed by his superiors not to honour court summons to explain the disappearance of Bob Njagi, someone that I know personally, Jamil Longton and Aslam Longton. There is no one who can be happy to live in a country such as this one. You can hear from both sides of the House that no one supports these happenings in our country. Just across our border, in Dar es Salaam, the police plucked an opposition leader from the Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) party from a moving bus, in the full glare of the public and in hours, he turned up dead with his face disfigured by acid. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot be spoken to in the same terms as countries like Tanzania. Even this young Member of County Assembly (MCA) from Wajir was plucked from the streets of Nairobi. We would want all of us leaders to take a very strong position and ask William Ruto. We will not ask him about the other promises he will break, even if he does not build the roads and the stadiums he promised us, can he please stop killing us? Stop abducting people and bodies showing up in quarries."
