    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion is based on what transpired around Maseno University on the evening of 12th and the night of that day up to the morning of the 13th when students of the University were making final arrangements for their elections. They gathered at the gate of the University for that purpose. The police from Maseno Police Station and other nearby police stations descended upon them with rungus and firearms and beat them up. The beating continued until the next morning up to the 13th in the afternoon. At the end of it all, three students died, several properties were damaged, many students were injured and finally the University’s administration closed the University indefinitely. To understand this in proper context, I want to state that Maseno University is in Kisumu West Constituency. For the last 15 years since 2000, this University has never been closed because of students’ unrest. This is the first time it is happening. The circumstances were that the Vice-Chancellor (VC) is on normal leave and was supposed to resume today. He was asked not to report despite the fact that he wanted to but, even after all this happened, the Chairperson of the University’s Council still told the VC not to report. In which situation, if such a thing 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."
