    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs for the response. However, in the first instance, I would have expected an apology for taking too long. He had made a commitment to present this almost a month ago, so that we take serious parliamentary promises. When a Chairman pledges that they are going to present a Statement at a particular time, they should do that and be serious about it. Nonetheless, apart from the entire analogy of the events of what happened in the abduction of Pasgalis, the only thing I heard at the end was investigation is still on. It is not true that there is an investigation going on because Pasgalis came to me and told me that he had been going to the police station over and again. And since there was nothing that was happening, that is why I came to Parliament to try and get this a bit fast-tracked. To date, Chief Inspector Wasilwa was transferred from Nandi Hills. He had been there for a long time. He knows the many bad things he did in Nandi Hills. When we came to power, he was transferred to Kitui. But when this matter happened, he appeared from nowhere because the former Eastern Province of Kenya had been using police administration sometimes to frustrate the locals of Nandi Hills. And so, on the day when this happened, we were demonstrating. Abductions are things that pain and are demeaning. I went and I saw Pasgalis in hospital and observed that he had been thoroughly beaten. I am not satisfied with the Statement. I still need to hear today who has been arrested. Unfortunately, no one has been arrested. Have any perpetrators been called? Has even Pasgalis himself been called? No. For the people who were mentioned, no one has been called."
