    "content": "Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer, Mr Hassan Muse Mire, accused of murdering Mr Abdullahi Kassim Yussuf. On 31st July 2019, Mr Hassan Muse Mire of Identification Card No.32394753, a KDF officer, allegedly shot and killed Mr Abdullahi Kassim Yussuf of Identification Card No.28872525 in Garissa County under unclear circumstances. On 23rd March 2022, the court recommended his prosecution for the murder following conclusion of Milimani Public Inquest No.2 of 2020. Sadly, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is yet to prosecute the said KDF Officer, despite numerous reminders by the legal counsel representing the family of the deceased. The inordinate delay in the prosecution and administration of justice has caused immense anguish to the family. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on the following- 1. Status of implementation of the recommendations made by the court vide public inquest No.2 of 2020 in the murder of Mr Abdullahi Kassim Yussuf of Identification Card No.28872525. 2. A comprehensive report on the reason for the inordinate delay in prosecution of Mr Hassan Muse Mire, a KDF Officer of Identification Card No.32394753, accused of the murder of Mr Abdullahi Kassim Yussuf on 31st July 2019. 3. The actions being taken by the Director of Public Prosecutions to ensure justice is served to the family of the deceased without any further delay. Hon. Speaker, Abdullahi was my uncle and we miss him as a family. May Allah rest his soul in Jannah. Thank you."
