    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not ask whether there was a probe committee set. My Question was very clear: \"What is the progress of the investigations of the police action and the killings that occurred in Kisumu in the post 2007 election period?\" I did not ask specifically whether there was any committee, a probe committee or a commission set to carry out investigations. I wanted to know why the police were instructed to use live bullets to shoot innocent protesters. There was no violence at that time until the police came and the Rapid Deployment Unit went there. Officers from the Rapid Deployment Unit took no instructions from the local police force. They were taking instructions directly from Nairobi. They were using live bullets. I was targeted by a police officer with a smoke grenade. The hon. Member for Kisumu Town West was also targeted. We were asked to lie down on the ground, and yet we were hon. Members. There was no violence! If there was any violence, then it had been instigated earlier. From 8.00 a.m to nearly 4.30 p.m, the police were watching and some of them were helping in breaking into the buildings and security panels. Their vehicles were seen pulling down security panels."
