    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk of \"a suspected criminal\", it is only when a person has been taken to court and convicted--- That is when we can say that he is a criminal. But \"suspected\" criminals are suspected in the circumstances in which they are found. If you have a firearm with you and you exchange fire with the police, obviously you are a criminal even though you have not been convicted in a court of law. Within the same period that we are talking about, when these suspects are killed, the police were able to recover over 100 AK47 assault rifles from these criminals. They were not recovered in the bush. They were recovered from 3560 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 29, 2007 those criminals who were shot dead by the police. Police also recovered 156 pistols and 3,316 assorted ammunition. So, they were not innocent people found in the streets taking their leisure time who were shot by the police. It is people who were found committing or attempting to commit a crime and then fought the police and then the police killed them in the process."
