    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to pass my condolences to the family, the wife, children and the extended family of Hon. George Muchai. I also extend my condolences to the people of Kabete Constituency and all the affected persons who knew the Hon. Member in person. It is shocking when you know very well that somewhere, less than 200 metres from this great House of Parliament, just near Harambee House, near the supposedly protected Nyayo House, just less than 20 metres from Nyayo House and in the full glare of cameras and street lights, that one can be killed and the killers would go away unnoticed, unarrested, untamed and no action is taken. The question one would ask himself is: “Why did the policeman who was guarding Nyayo House not even try to run after the killers or perhaps try to find out what was happening?” Nothing has been said to that effect. Is it that our policemen or security people are trained to remain as stooges in places where they have been put? There must be something wrong. I know there are a lot of accounts that have been provided for in the newspapers; that it could be this or that. My colleagues have spent a lot of time trying to use it as if it is the correct account. I take it with the errors that sometimes come with reporting. We want to be told the truth about what exactly happened to the honourable Member. We want to see, like in the Hon. Were’s case, that people are arrested and convicted. We do not want to have situations where mysteries are continuously surrounding the situation. 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."
