    "content": "(a) I am not aware of the tension in Machakos Town. However, I am aware that on 31st January, 2012, a Mr. Makau Muthoka passed on while undergoing treatment at Level Five Hospital. The circumstances under which this occurred is that the Machakos Municipal Council askaris under the command of Sergeant Johannes Mutua arrested five alleged touts namely Willy Njila, Makau Muthoka, Patrick Mutinda, Kyalo Kitome and Musendi Kiriri. While escorting them to Machakos Police Station, the deceased escaped and was chased by the same council askaris . He was re-arrested and escorted to Machakos Police Station. While he was being booked, he complained that he had fallen down and was feeling unwell at that particular time. At around 10.10 p.m. of the same day vide OB No.78/31/1/2012 the deceased further complained that his condition was worsening and was rushed to Machakos Level Five Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Immediately, investigations commenced and statements were recorded. The post-mortem on the deceased was performed on 2nd February, 2012 but the family members were not satisfied with the outcome. Thus a second one was performed on 8th February, 2012. The outcome of the two differed prompting a third one which was performed by the Chief Government Pathologist on 13th February, 2012. I wish to table copies of the three post-mortem reports which were done on the late Makau."
