    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Senate Minority Leader for bringing up this Statement. Willie Kimani is personally known to me. He was one year behind me in campus. When we were in school, we were student leaders together. Looking at the organisation he worked for, this is somebody who believed in justice. In this, he was handling the case not because he wanted to be paid but because he believed in the rule of law and respect for human rights. It is unfortunate that such kind of an individual would find himself in the situation he found himself in. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is more saddening is that we have no doubt that this was done by police officers. As we speak, we are only hearing of three police constables. What about the Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS)? We are told that the three gentlemen were kept in a police station container the whole day. Where were the other police officers? Even as we ask for proper investigation, administratively, political responsibility must be taken. Even if it means going to sit with the police as a whole and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge, we must be able to bring this to an end. Mr. Speaker, Sir, back in Nandi, there is a growing trend where police officers are colluding with criminals. When you get a situation where a thief colludes with a watchman or the person who is supposed to protect you colludes with the person who intends to harm you, where shall we head as Kenyans?"
