"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last Saturday, 18th August, 2007, at around 6.30 p.m., an operation was carried out by the police at Kiriaini Trading Centre of Keru Location, Murang'a District. The operation led to a lot of beating of the citizens in the area indiscriminately, ending up with the death of one person. Thereafter, about 50 people were arrested and locked in a small police station in Kiriaini. They were released the next morning after paying Kshs1,000 each to the police station, without even being charged with any offence. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell this House what the operation was for, and why should innocent people be beaten up indiscriminately by the police while they are expected to maintain peace and security whenever they are?"
