    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am equally sad as we discuss this issue of a lost soul. One Pastor Martin Niemöller from Germany said, first they came for the socialists, I did not say anything because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, I did not say anything because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews. I did not say anything because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one to speak for me. As a country and as the Senate, we are all affected. We are all affected, not just as a nation. We are affected as people who have been entrusted to take care of the people. Even the Government pathologist who has been conducting postmortems on such cases has also been affected, saying it is a relative brought on a table for him to check what killed him. As a country and as this Senate, we must give an ultimatum that by 25th June, if this Senate has not done anything, if this Lagat Deputy Inspector General has not resigned, Kenyans should come out in large numbers on 25th as a memorial day and deal with whoever is not doing what he is supposed to do. This is because the police who have been mandated to take care of Kenyans are quick to act on some useless issues. Today, as we speak, there is a police officer by the name Samidoh, a musician, who was granted leave to go to America. He was supposed to return yesterday. However, today, there is a warrant of arrest on him for absconding duty. If the police can issue a warrant of arrest for somebody because of missing work and yet we have a police officer whose name has been implicated on every murder and yet they are not doing anything, then I think as a Senate, we need to do something. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
