    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to also contribute to the Statement by Sen. Eddy. Clearly, something is wrong with what happened to this young man, Albert Ojwang’. This country requires answers because the postmortem that has been done, so far, indicates that this young man died out of neck compression and those injuries were inflicted through torture. We require proper answers from the police. I also want to agree with the position that by now, instead of terminating the services of junior policemen, we want to see senior police officers, the Inspector General and the DIG, resigning or being fired by the President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my party, where I am the Deputy Party Leader, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). One of the things we agreed on was that we will not have abductions and killings like this one. If we do not get proper answers from UDA side, we will consider this as a material breach of the MoU we have with them. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is very serious about this. I am talking as a Deputy Party Leader of ODM. We are a party that believes in protecting the lives of Kenyans. Therefore, we want to see action from the UDA Government on the issue of the DIG of Police. He should not be in office by now because this young man was arrested for posting something against the DIG. Why is the DIG still in office? Why are you going for junior police officers; terminating their services while their bosses are still enjoying lunch and breakfast as our young man is decaying in the morgue? This matter is very serious. We call for speedy action not just by the police, but also the Government through the President. We are beginning to see the coming back of intolerance in this country. This cannot be allowed to go on. We need answers, which are supposed to come from the Government and the police. We cannot allow the police to mislead this country that the young man hit his head on the wall. If you look at the injuries sustained by that---"
