    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, although it is reasonably believed that Hemed Salim Hemed was among the suspects arrested at Masjid Musa Mosque, it is also believed that he was among the several suspects who escaped. Although a habeas corpus No.7 of 2014 was filed before the High Court, Mombasa, and the hearing is still on-going, no formal report of a missing person has been filed with the police. However, pursuant to the escape of a number of suspects, an OB entry was made on how some of the suspects escaped from the custody of police officers and booked as OB No.39/3/2/2014 and an inquiry file No.1/2014 opened to investigate the circumstances of escape. The relatives are, therefore, being urged to formally report the disappearance of the said Hemed Salim Hemed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Government will not relent in its war against radicalization of the youth or persons, with the sole purpose of perpetuating acts of terrorism on innocent Kenyans. Likewise, the Government will not allow any mosque, church, temple or any other place of worship to be used as centres of radicalization of the youth for purposes of terrorism. The Government is not aware of any systematic human rights abuses in the coastal region. However, the Government is aware of isolated incidents where Muslim clerics have been killed and each and every case is under investigation on its own merit and once completed, appropriate action will be taken against whoever is found culpable of such killings. Lastly, the Government is employing the following measures that are aimed at addressing extremism and radicalization in Kenya:- (1) SUPKEM, NAMLEF, KEMNAK (The Kenya Muslim Advisory Council) and other Muslim organizations have been encouraged to unite and work for the common good of the Muslims. This will deny the extremists the opportunity to continue capitalizing on the disunity that was existing in the past among these organizations.
