    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Vice Chair for the Statement, but will be quick to say that I am very shocked by the Statement that she has just issued. I am shocked by the way this Government disregards the lives of its own citizens. The Government that is expected to protect its citizens and their property is the same one that is now killing them. I thought that the days of trigger-happy police officers were long gone with the coming into operation of the new Constitution. Could the Vice Chair justify the use of live bullets on innocent Kenyans, exercising their right of demonstration? This is provided for in our Constitution. Why would police officers use live bullets on innocent Kenyans, exercising their democratic right? What the Vice Chair has done is just to confess what happened. She has not answered the substantive issues that I raised in my request. I wanted her to explain what IPOA is doing and she has only told us that it is independent. We have a right, as the Senate, to get the progress report of investigations. I am informed that the police officer who committed this heinous crime is still walking free on the streets, after killing an innocent Kenyan. We have only been told that IPOA is independent and they are carrying out investigations. Could we be given a progress report on the investigations because, as the Senate, we have a right to this information?"
