"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Assistant Minister is known for giving contemptuous answers to Members of Parliament on very serious issues. An hon. Member has given the name of the student who was killed and his index number. The fact that no report was made to the police does not subtract or add anything from the fact that this young man is dead. The Assistant Minister is trying to imply that the hon. Member is lying or is making up stories. Just the other day over 70 people were gunned down by policemen in Laikipia and their photographs are in today's newspapers. Why are policemen shooting people to kill even if they are thieves? Each time May 29, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1653 this occurs we are told that these people were armed and that they are killing police officers. The lives of police officers are not much more important than those of ordinary civilians who are not armed. Could the Assistant Minister confirm to this House that he is sure that this young man is not dead or that the life of this young man is not less important than the lives of the four police officers that he is talking about?"
