    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join the Senator of Nyandarua County, the family of Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, his friends and relatives in celebrating the 50th anniversary of his passing on. As I do so, I would like to affirm that we have a unique opportunity as Government to refuse a repeat of what led to the death of JM Kariuki. The best way to do it is to end the culture of abductions and extrajudicial killings because it was in exactly the same manner that Josiah Mwangi Kariuki was picked from Hilton Hotel, went and met his death in Ngong Forest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House should be a part of the pain the family went through, because we brought shame. It is in this House that the then Vice-President announced that J.M. Kariuki was alive and had gone to Zambia. It is also in this House that the Commission of Inquiry was ordered by the then-President that they expunge the names of the people who had killed JM Kariuki. Mr. Speaker, Sir, borrowing a leaf from what has happened in the United States of America, in reference to the truth surrounding the killing of John F. Kennedy, has now come out clearly, we have an opportunity now for the truth to come out about these senior officers in Government who killed Josiah Mwangi Kariuki."
