    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to condemn and protest the barbaric killing of Mr. Wille Kimani, a young man at the age of 31 who had not even tasted the sweetness of marriage. I also condemn in equal breadth the brutal killing of his client, Mr. Josephat Mwenda and the taxi driver, Mr. Joseph Muiruri, whom I am told is a constituent of the Senate Majority Leader. These people were not arrested. If I may borrow the words of the Senate Minority Leader, they were kidnapped. They screamed as they were kidnapped. I am sure many other police officers saw what happened, but they chose to keep quiet. They chose to pretend that nothing had happened. This kind of impunity is what we in CORD are saying no to. We stand against this kind of impunity. We demand that the killers and perpetrators be brought to justice. I have just heard one of my colleagues requesting that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) looks into this matter. In the same breadth, I also demand that the FBI should investigate the murder of Mr. Jacob Juma who was killed in very mysterious circumstances and nothing has been said or done about it. Finally, I condemn the kind of killings that the police are perpetrating because it means had the “Muthaiga two” not been Members of Parliament; they would have met the same fate that met the lawyer, his client and the taxi-driver. I stand with my colleagues to condemn that act."
