    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senate Minority Leader for bringing this serious matter to the attention of this House. What happened is very unfortunate. I would like to pass my condolences to the three families. It is sad to see young people lose their lives as they seek justice. The initial case that the young lawyer was following on pro bono was also against police officers for the rogue act that they had done. To add salt to injury, the same people came to finish the three victims totally. That is a very unfortunate incident and it does not matter whether we are in Government or the Opposition. This is a matter that every Kenyan is condemning. This is not the first time that this is happening and it raises a lot of issues that we look into. The issues of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), witness protection and people who are seeking justice against the system because we have witnessed in our counties the police officers kill people in a manner that is unlawful. To date, some of them have not been heard in courts. We must be a country that takes care of its people and not the other way round, especially for people who are seeking justice. I hope that this is not just about statements that we will forget. The three families have to get justice for what happened."
