"content": "While I was waiting to get authority to raise this matter, as the Speaker was very busy consulting with some members of staff of the National Assembly, I decided to consult the Inspector General of Police (IGP), who told me that he was on top of the matter. However, I doubt that he is, indeed, on top of the matter because people are dying. The encroachers are still on the private properties. He told me that he was aware that a firearm was confiscated, and that the security personnel were pursuing the invaders. I asked him how come an innocent law abiding citizen, who solicited the intervention of the police to have the encroachers repulsed from his farm, was killed in the presence of the OCS. In the ensuing melee, the OSC also lost his firearm but the police did not shoot at the invaders. The IGP told me that the police were unable to shoot at the encroachers because human rights provisions prohibit them from firing back. This was a case of murder. The police officers who were at the scene saw the murderers flee. Why did they not apprehend them?"
