    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I say so because this matter happened when the nation; indeed the entire national leadership of this country was gathered at Bomas of Kenya yesterday talking about peace and looking at ways of preventing violence in our society. As we speak this afternoon, the right hon. Prime Minister and I were supposed to be at Bomas of Kenya to close the conference but the Prime Minister had to leave for Mombasa. The Government is taking this matter very seriously because it is a situation that could spiral out of control. I believe that the Prime Minister will be back tommorow. We just want to ask for tommorow so that a comprehensive Statement is prepared by the Government to be delivered to this House and the nation on Thursday. However, we want to condemn the killing. We also want to send our condolences to those who have lost their dear ones including the officers and the families that have been affected. We also want to assure the nation that this Government believes in the rule of law and that the era of extra-judicial killings is over. This matter will be addressed comprehensively by the Government on Thursday."
