    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why this Question was postponed three times is that we wanted to undertake an investigation to find out whether a young pupil was actually killed. We have done investigations and we have not found any evidence to the effect that this young person was killed. We have even looked for his family to give the report, but nobody is willing to come forward to do so. What are we expected to do beyond that? The police have done everything they can to find evidence of the death of this young man, but nobody including the boy's family or the hon. Member who is here is willing to go to the police station to give details so that the police can do the inquest. We have rules that we follow in investigations. We can never declare somebody dead when we do not have any tangible evidence to that effect. On the issue of police officers killing innocent people, we need a specific case to be dealt with specifically. If you make a complaint and say a particular person was killed and he is innocent, we can investigate. Generalisations intended to catch headlines will not help us in this big fight. We have a big problem in this country whereby a lot of Kenyans have decided to make criminality a way of life and the police are doing everything they can to fight it. In the process some police officers are also dying. We have to value lives of all Kenyans whether they are police or ordinary people. They are all valuable people and they are Kenyans."
