As you listen to me with utmost respect, I request you to know that I am doing this in absolute good faith and I have no malice whatsoever against Ahmed Issack Hassan. Article 73(1)(a)(iii) requires that a public officer must bring honour to the nation and dignity to the office. For that reason – I know I am taking too much of your time – I invite you to look at the documents that I have referred to and those authorities and guide us in the next sitting. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by saying that police brutality and extrajudicial killings have occasioned the loss of many lives this week on Monday and the other Mondays that we have been holding peaceful demonstrations against the IEBC. I, therefore, send my condolences to all the victims including; Dickson Asila from Bushiangala Village of Ikolomani in Kakamega, Austine Omambo of Siaya who lost his life and especially the four-year-old Luo boy in Kisumu who was lying on sofa set when he was hit by a live bullet by the police. He is fighting for his life in hospital and I really hope that he will make it. Finally, I want to condemn the culture of mob justice. Mob justice was also used on us when we were doing the peaceful demonstrations in Kakamega. The Jubilee side of this country set up 20 youth who attacked us right under the watchful eyes of the police. Two wrongs do not make a right. I condemn both and I hope that the hour of settling the tension and the challenge of the IEBC---"
