    "content": "I hope he is listening to me. The Statement is with regard to the circumstances under which a former senior police officer, Mr. Kimeli, was murdered less than 48 hours ago. In that Statement, I wish the Minister to confirm: (i) Whether or not Mr. Kimeli was not a witness in the Waki Commission and he gave very confidential information before that Commission. (ii) That he was also listed as one of the ICC witnesses and was due to fly out of the country as one such witness at the time he was murdered. Could the Minister give us an assurance that investigations will be carried out by the same police officers who may be implicated, because we have had far too many cases of Kenyans dying at the hands of the police and then promises of police investigations and nothing coming out of it? Mr. Speaker, Sir, at a time when the ICC is actively preparing for confirmation hearings, it is important that Kenyans get assurance from the Government that there will be co-operation rather than intimidation of witnesses."
