    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to give the following Statement. It is a short one. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 15th, hon. Mbuvi asked for a Ministerial Statement on the manhandling and arrest of hon. Ferdinand Waititu, the Assistant Minister for Water and Irrigation by police officers on 13th December. The hon. Member sought clarification on the circumstances under which hon. Waititu was manhandled by the police and whether the manhandling sent a bad image to the public and the world. He also wanted to know the actions that will be taken against the Commissioner of Police who gave the orders to the police to manhandle the Assistant Minister. Further, he wanted to know when the police reforms will be implemented and the Inspector-General be appointed in line with the new Constitution. Finally, he wanted a clarification on whether the Government is aware that the current Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mathew Iteere, is not qualified to be an Inspector-General as per the new Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to state as follows. On 13th December, 2010, police officers under the command of OCPD, Embakasi, SSP David Rono Bunei, were providing security during the execution of a court order by auctioneers acting on behalf of Supplies and Services Ltd within Kiang’ombe Slums, which is in Langata Constituency. I have the court order here and I will table it for the hon. Member to peruse. The hon. Member for Langata Constituency is the Right Honorable Prime Minister, Raila Amolo Odinga."
