    "content": "post. He had to send for this young man on a weekend. There is no record that the late Albert Ojwang’ was summoned to appear in any police station and he refused. He was arrested on a weekend in the presence of his parents. The father came to Nairobi with a title deed to secure the bail of his son, only to be given the body of his son in a body bag. I wonder, even as we debate this Statement, did you see that the complainant in this case; the Deputy Inspector General of the Kenya Police Service, Eliud Langat, was standing behind the Inspector General of Police when they announced the start of the investigations? How can a person who, in my opinion, is the lead suspect in the murder of the late Albert Ojwang’ be standing right behind those expected to carry out the investigations? Secondly, I also wonder how cold and heartless is the President that to this minute, he has not even issued a condolence. Everything in the country is running as if nothing has happened. We have also not seen the condolence message from the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration. If the President wants the young people to believe that he loves them, as he has been saying, he must crack the whip on Eliud Langat. I dare ask, who is protecting Eliud Langat? How powerful is he that he can commit a crime of this magnitude and continue serving as the Deputy Inspector General of Police? Even as we summon them to this House, he should have done this country a favour by resigning. In a functioning democracy, Eliud Langat cannot and should not continue serving in that position. Finally, the life of the late Ojwang’ is as important as the life of Ong’ondo Were. In two days, the Principal Secretary for Interior and National Administration was giving an update of what had happened, including the arrest of suspects."
