"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to convey my personal condolences to the families of the three. Secondly, this brutal and barbaric action has provoked the anger of the nation. This is not the first time this is happening. This issue of abductions is a common occurrence. On this particular occasion, I believe that the matter has received widespread condemnation because it involved a prominent human rights lawyer. About four years ago, a matatu driver was asked to stop by traffic police officers near Kamkunji Police Station and then the policeman took away his driving license. Later on, he discovered that that the police officer who had taken his licence came from Ruiru Traffic Base. The following day he went to collect that licence and upon doing so, was requested to give a bribe. He did not have the money and did not see the sense of giving a bribe. The following day he went and reported the matter to the then Kenya Anti- Corruption Authority (KACA). A trap was laid and the policeman arrested. The matter went to court and a date of hearing was set in which this young man was going to be one of the key witnesses. The young man stayed in Eastleigh and kept going to the High Court in Nairobi where the hearing was taking place, the young man then disappeared."
