    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to stand here on the Floor of the Senate and denounce this heinous act with the strongest terms possible. I also demand proper and thorough investigations. We need people to bear responsibility. As I finish, I would like to say that in Northern Island during the days of the height of IRA revolt, the police were looking for an IRA suspect who had killed the person. He was eventually found hiding in the servant’s quarters of the Attorney-General. There was clear evidence that the Attorney-General did not know that this suspect was in his compound. The Attorney-General promptly resigned and left office. With these happenings, in civilized societies and I hear our leadership constantly boasting of our high level of civilization, somebody must take responsibility. That somebody is none other than the Inspector-General of Police and the Minister for Interior and National Coordination. Whether they were involved or not is not the issue. I have no doubt that Maj-Gen. Nkaissery or Boinet could not do this, but taking responsibility does not mean being guilty. It means you are conscious of the fact that when you are given a job to do, the buck stops on your table. It is a sad day for this country and the law profession. It is also a sad day for the ordinary man in this country including an innocent taxi driver who was simply hired to earn a living for his family to meet death in such a brutal manner. I join the legal fraternity and laud them for the peaceful demonstration that they carried out around the country yesterday. I am also in full solidarity with the boycott of courts this week. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
