    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to pass my condolences to the family of the late Hon. George Muchai, the bodyguards and the driver. On Saturday morning on my way to Makueni County, I happened to find this terrible incident at about 6 a.m. I was extremely shocked by the manner in which a Member of Parliament lost his life in one of the busiest streets in the City of Nairobi. It is also appalling that the persons who caused the death of this Member of Parliament managed to escape again through the streets of Nairobi to an unknown destination. It was a very chilling event. Mine is to condole with the family, but insist that there are too many stones that have been left unturned in this county on persons who have died. It is not enough to say that we, the political class or the elite, are under danger. The fact of the matter is that it is not enough for this country to pass so many security laws when people are losing their lives like the way that Member of Parliament lost his life. No Kenyan should lose his life the way Hon. Muchai lost his life. However, what is more disturbing are the reports in the newspapers today. Why are the police investigating crime through the press? They are suggesting that, in fact, this cold-blooded murder was as a result of carjacking so that they can start poisoning the minds of Kenyans; so that we do not continue asking questions as to why these people just walked to his car and instead of carjacking him, they shot him and then walked away. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
