"content": "My Ministry will not compensate the family of the deceased since it has no vote to cater for such expenses. The recommendations by Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) and implementation as directed by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), all cases of shooting are investigated and where the shooting is found to be unjustified appropriate action is taken upon advice by the DPP. The Government has no policy to perpetuate extra-judicial killings neither does it condone the same. According to the Constitution of 2010, every person has a right to a fair hearing and no one can be judged unheard. Further, a suspect according to the national laws is deemed to be innocent unless proven otherwise. In this regard therefore, any officer who is suspected to be involved in murder related cases is always subjected to the full force of law. However, there are incidences where suspected criminals have died during exchange of fire with police officers. In such cases, an inquest file is open and investigations carried out and appropriate action accordingly. I thank you."
