As you rightly said, their human rights were violated under Article 51 of the Constitution. Eventually, the police have ended up throwing teargas to those people who were there and who wanted to see their people. If we had gone to Kamiti Maximum Prison, we would have been allowed to see our colleagues. Kenya has slowly become a police state where the rights of individuals are being violated.

It is wrong if he has come 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"
