    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to also join the rest of the House and Kenyans in conveying condolences to the family of the late Albert Ojwang’. It is, indeed, sad to lose such a young man under unclear circumstances. This has put the integrity of our National Police Service (NPS) into question, especially when they give a statement which, on the face of it, does not make sense. We urge the NPS, IPOA and everyone who is investigating the case to do the best they can to unravel the mystery so that justice is served to the family of that young man who passed away under those circumstances. Sometimes, we wonder why the NPS conducts itself in the way it has done. What begs the question is whether the syllabus has changed since the colonial days. We know very well that during the state of emergency, we had many extrajudicial killings. Has this been carried on to date? Are there officers, whether senior or junior, who are giving instructions to have young men executed? These are the questions we should be asking ourselves. It is high time we looked at the qualifications and training of police officers. There may be something wanting. We should scrutinize the entry point level and the training that police officers get at Kiganjo Police Training College. Times have changed and we must now live to the expectations. Justice must be done at all times. We must condemn extrajudicial killings to the fullest. It should not be condoned. This House should continue to condemn it day-in, day-out.
