    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My names are Dr. Victor Kioko Munyaka, the Member of Parliament for Machakos Town Constituency. First, I would like to thank the electorate of Machakos Town Constituency for electing me as their new Member of Parliament. I also wish to congratulate all Members of Parliament who made it to the Tenth Parliament. I also want to talk about the President's Speech and note that the violence that erupted in our country made us learn many lessons. First, I am concerned about police brutality. There are some cases where the police conducted themselves in quite an abnormal manner. They did things which actually surprised many people. We note that during the signing of the peace accord, everybody was celebrating. Everybody was happy! But the police threw teargas at them instead. Likewise, during the mourning of the death of the late hon. Melitus Were, the police also threw March 13, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 169 teargas at his home. So, I just wonder whether the police are under instructions to use all the teargas canisters so that they can be considered to have done their job. They do not realise when people are celebrating or mourning."
