    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to laud the Minority Leader, Sen. Wetangula, for rising on this very important matter. Mr. Willie Kimani was a lawyer like some of us in this House. He was also my former student. I personally taught him law at the University of Nairobi. The pain that I express here today is not only personal but it is also personal in another way. The client, Mr. Josephat Mwenda was a young man who had been doing business in Kitengela. He came from Marimanti, in Tharaka Constituency, Tharaka Nithi County. Therefore, that is even a more compelling and personal loss. Mr. Joseph Muiruri on the other hand was an honest Kenyan who was conducting his taxi business and I do not think that he should have met his death in such a cruel and barbaric manner. As a lawyer and as a person who has lost a constituent and a fellow Kenyan, I join the Senator for Bungoma and Minority Leader in condemning the barbaric act of murder that has been done on these Kenyans. What is surprising many of us is that the police have admitted that those who are suspected to have committed this crime are police officers. I, therefore, would like to also demand that some form of personal responsibility has to be taken in terms of the people who did this. Administrative responsibility has to take place also because when you are presiding over an institution that goes amok, then you must take personal responsibility.
