    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on that request because we have been on recess and a lot has been happening. Extrajudicial killings by state officers who are paid by the taxpayers and employed to guard and protect lives and properties have become extremely common. When the Vice Chair brings a Statement, I want her to go beyond the Cheptulu murder and tell the Senate and the country what the Government is doing to arrest trigger-happy policemen who are shooting innocent citizens and killing them all over. Further, she should tell this House of oversight whether what I heard this afternoon from the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government - deriding the public and warning people against making any statements against police who shoot and kill people because it amounts to demoralising the police - is official policy. Is it official policy that when police shoot and kill people, we should keep quiet, because when we complain and raise issues, like the distinguished Senator for Nandi has justifiably done, it is demoralising the police?"
