    "content": "It is extremely sad that we are losing lives that we should not. The worst is when we lose a person in a police cell because that is supposed to be a place for protection until one is proven guilty or otherwise. One should be safe in a police station. We are not passing judgment to anybody, but instead asking for accountability and someone must take responsibility for the loss of the life of Albert Ojwang’. Who else can do that if not the top leadership of the police? The Inspector General of Police and Deputy Inspector General of Police must answer to Kenyans on what happened to Albert Ojwang’. The President should keenly look at this case because it has come immediately after a warm reception in Homa Bay. There could be people working to undermine the Government. The President should find out what is happening in the police force. The IPOA should come through for Kenyans in this case because we do not trust the police to investigate themselves. It is extremely sad that even our young people have lost trust in us because we continue to lose them in circumstances that we should not. Imagine a situation where a parent has only one child and they lose them? Imagine the pain of those parents? Who is the future of that family? Mr. Speaker, Sir, Parliament should take its rightful place to hold the Executive accountable for what is happening in our country. That is sad and unfortunate. We must apologise to Kenyans for letting them down. We must come through as an independent House that will stand for Kenyans. I thank you."
