    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to give a statement on police brutality taking place in Mumias West Constituency. Following the raid at Booker Police Post by gangsters yesterday, 23rd November, 2016, a major operation by officers from the General Service Unit (GSU) started this morning at 4.00 a.m., in search of stolen guns and ammunition. The operation caused more harm to the residents of Shivale Estate. The exercise has resulted in atrocities amounting to abuse of human rights, including harassing and use of excessive force against the locals. Sexual harassment of women and young girls also took place as well as robbing the locals of money and other valuables. In this regard, the operation meant to apprehend the culprits ended up causing violation of human rights and untold suffering among the residents. I wish, therefore, to appeal to the Government, through this House, to withdraw the GSU security operations and instead engage the local leaders in addressing this problem."
