    "content": "2025 clarified that only the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has the mandate to investigate deaths and injuries caused by police officers who are on duty or occur in custody, not DCI, or any other department of the police. The Security Laws (Amendment) Act was introduced in Parliament to expand IPOA's oversight powers and give it more teeth, not just recommendations, but actually allow them to make arrests. However, the National Assembly has blocked this Bill. We know that. They said that it does not concern counties, thereby stalling a legislative process in this Senate and, therefore, obstructing real justice. We have to fight as a Senate to bring that Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, dead people do not tell tales. The collective voice of Kenyans demands that this tale be told and justice be served, immediately. I thank you."
