    "content": "First, in investigating this matter, I would ask the Committee to determine what disciplinary measures have been taken against the police officer who recklessly used his gun, so that we can stop future carelessness and harming of other innocent Kenyans. This country has witnessed unprecedented cases of shooting of people by police officers as they purportedly try to stop what they call “riots”, but which are in essence demonstrations. The victims of the shootings are usually little children and innocent students who happened to be going about their own business, like the case of Quinter that happened in a school compound in Migori. The response from the police officers was very careless even though they were trying to stop escaping prisoners. There was no prisoner who was escaping towards the school compound. This matter should be looked into carefully by the Committee so that action can be taken against police officers who are found to be reckless in order to avoid recurrence of such incidences.
