    "content": "Thank you so much, hon. Speaker for your indulgence. Hon. Speaker, I was among the Members of Parliament who flew from Nairobi to Maralal when we got information of this fatal incident. We visited the police station and the entire area. There are three things of concern; that this was a peaceful demonstration, which is also allowed in our Constitution. The demonstrators were unarmed and the cattle that the police allege the youth wanted to get hold of from the police station were actually in the custody of the police where the deceased was killed. We visited the scene, which is about 500 meters from the police station. It is clear that this man was chased to a point where he was shot dead and buried. He must have been killed by the police. Unless the police are above the law, they must take responsibility. My concern and the clarification that I am seeking from the Chair is, if he has been able to establish from the Cabinet Secretary that this fellow was killed and he was actually killed by the police, does the Government through police take responsibility? Do they want to allow this person who is responsible just to go scot-free when a Kenyan has been killed who is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
