    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I seek your indulgence to lay the basis of the clarifications I will now seek. First of all, I am grateful that the Minister has admitted 26 deaths. I want to assure him that they are 43 deaths. I am now reliably informed that this is not an exhaustive list and I would be reading out the names. I want to say that we cannot fight crime with crime. I sympathize with residents of Kirinyaga who were terrorized by lawless youths demanding money from them and committing all manner of atrocities. But that cannot justify the police, administration police and the Government suspending law and letting citizens rise against each other. I am informed that when the vigilantes go on rampage, they are actually escorted by the police officers who stay at a distance and wait for them to murder and they immediately collect the bodies. All the people murdered are being buried within a day. Most of these crimes are committed in Kirinyaga Central District. It is the Provincial Administration and the police within these districts that have allowed this state of affairs to remain. There are intelligence officers in these areas. Even when boys were collecting money, they were sharing it with some people in the Government. That is why they were allowed to continue with their atrocities. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to read a list of those who have died by being slashed with pangas and they are 25 in number. They are: Peter Kiminja from Kiangai."
