    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek clarification from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. The Statement as brought by hon. Abdullswamad before this House is very sensitive and it seeks explanation on the mysterious deaths of Kenyans who are being killed extra-judicially without explanations at all. Even to add more on to that is the fact that persons who are being killed are religious leaders in their rights. Those leaders are killed on their way home when they are from preaching; either from the Mosque or the Church. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when our security agents turn up after a very long time and say that they have no explanations as to who is behind those killings, it is a very worrying trend. It is an issue that can very easily be understood to be systematic killings. What it the intention of this, if there is? We want to be very candid. If the police and the intelligence do not know who is killing those leaders, then who else should know? We should be worried people. All Kenyans should be walking very worried and this is what is worrying. The trend that this is picking is moving from the killing of Muslim leaders to Christian leaders etcetera . If this issue is not managed it could very easily explode into situation in this country that we do not want. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answers given here are not adequate. The sending of Kenyans to other countries for trial is not also something that is satisfactorily explained. We have courts and judicial systems which we have very strong faith in and the rendition of Kenyans that are mentioned in this Statement is unacceptable. The Chair should demand adequate answers as to whether we have no faith in our judicial system to the extent of sending Kenyans to our neighbours to try them on our behalf. Thank you."
