    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Hon. Pukose is my neighbour and brother and so, we always take care of each other. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(C), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the assault of one, Mr. William Moris from Kis Village, Kwanza Sub-county, Trans-Nzoia County by police officers. Hon. Speaker, the above mentioned person was assaulted and detained in Kitale Police Station by police officers on 1st June, 2014. The Officer Commanding Station (OCS), Kitale, instructed that he be taken to hospital to receive medical attention because he was seriously injured. The District Criminal Investigations Officer (DCIO) promised to undertake further investigations into the matter. He went back on 13th May, 2014 and he was denied the P3 Form. On 3rd June, the victim was arraigned in court and no single charge was proved against him and he was, subsequently, released. In the Statement, the Chair person should inquire into and report on:- 1. the identity of the police officers who assaulted him; 2. the person or the authority that instructed the police officers to arrest him; 3. measures taken by the Government to ensure that police officers involved are brought to book; and 4. the possibility of the Government to meet the medical costs incurred by the said victim and compensation for unfair arrest. Thank you."
