    "content": "accuse to have scuttled their plans to harm me, will see our grave. For the record, I want to say that I did adduce that Petition in this House as a representative of the people of Kikuyu and the people of Kiambu who had petitioned this House to look into issues to do with the militia. What worries me is that the said Mr. Karanja had actually made a report to the Kikuyu Police through the Kikuyu Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Office. It, therefore, bewilders me how the same gang was able to know that Karanja had made a report if there was no collusion with people within the police force in Kikuyu or the CID Office in Kikuyu. Three months ago, we had to force the transfer of the DCI Kikuyu and the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) over issues that related to the disappearance and death of a matatu operator by the name Mr. Ng’ang’a, who was found killed in Gilgil after having been abducted in Kikuyu. This matter is so grave that today, you will see the Judiciary, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and human rights organisations talking about the mysterious disappearance of a young lawyer, Mr. Willy Kimani. Unfortunately, that Willy Kimani also happens to hail from my village in Kikuyu. What worries me is that, that young man was abducted after leaving court in Mavoko. Today, we are told, and I read in some of the dailies yesterday, that the taxi car that the young man had used to Mavoko Law Courts was found abandoned in Tigoni. Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the question that in this day and age, when Jacob Juma was killed within a few days, we were able to see movements of his car. I am asking myself questions. If that car was in Mavoko, it did not fly like a chopper from Mavoko to Tigoni. It used the roads that are manned by the Safaricom cameras. I want to say that there is a lot of lethargy and a do not-care attitude within our police service. When the incident of a threat to my life on 20th May 2016 happened, I discussed the matter with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and Coordination of National Government. I wrote officially and formally to him, copied the letter to the DCI, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Director-General of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), but I am sorry to say that to date, even as I sit here, I sit as a man whose life is in danger. I do not know whether I will wait. The late George Muchai expressed fears over his life and we only turned up at his funeral in Kabete to promise that we will leave no stone unturned. He is turning in his grave today and he is dead and gone. Are we going to wait for members of this House, including Hon. Duale who is shouting here, to disappear like that young Willy Kimani, an advocate, who has disappeared today? We do not know his whereabouts and that of the accused person who he had gone to represent in court and the innocent taxi driver. What that young advocate was doing in court was to represent another young man, a boda boda rider in Athi River, who had been shot and injured by an Administration Police officer. He was then charged in court on what are said to be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
