    "content": " Hon. Senators, at the sitting of the Senate held on Thursday, 7th May, 2015, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo rose pursuant to Standing Order No.46 of the Senate Standing Orders, seeking the indulgence of the Senate to make a Personal Statement. He informed the Senate that on that day, he had attended a Kamukunji of the Senate which was held in this Chamber from 11.00 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. He stated that on exiting the Chamber, he met with an officer of the National Police Service (NPS), who identified himself as Corporal Daudi Mutui. He stated that he wished to serve on him “a notice to compel attendance under Section 52(1) of the National Police Act, No.11A of 2011. The notice was issued by Mr. Joseph Ngisa Angasa, a police officer attached to the investigation branch who stated that he was investigating a case of robbery with violence, contrary to Section 295 as read with Section 296(II) – anti-stock theft - contrary to Section 278 of the penal code. The notice went further to compel the Senator to appear at the DCI headquarters at Mazingira House, along Kiambu Road on 8th May, 2015. The Senator stated that the notice was served on him immediately upon exiting from the Chamber at the doors of this Chamber which is stated to be unprocedural. He, therefore, sought the guidance and protection of the Chair, to ensure that what had happened to him does not become the practice in Parliament. 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."
