    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to give a Personal Statement under Standing Order No.76. I wish to state the following:- I do not belong to any organized proscribed group, including the Mungiki, and I do not support their activities. Anybody with evidence to the contrary should report to the police and record a statement. The allegation that I have told youths to go back to bus stops is false and anybody who has information about that can also record a statement with the police so that I can be prosecuted. My continued efforts to condemn extra-judicial killings in my constituency, Embakasi, were the real cause of the strike which was instigated by police officers to justify the actions in Embakasi. Any youth found to belong to any proscribed organized group like Mungiki or the Kamjesh, I support that they be arrested and prosecuted as per the organized crime law. I will seek the intervention of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for the police officers to investigate some Probox cars that have been used by some police officers to undertake killings in my constituency. I call for immediate stop and cessation of all forms of police brutality against youths in my constituency, Embakasi. On the same issue, I would like to inform you that there are some Probox cars which are suspiciously hovering around my offices. I, therefore, feel that my life is in danger and, I request the Commissioner of Police to give me more security."
