    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was wondering whether it was not intended to harass us. Thank you for that protection. We can create an enlightened society if we integrate this in our education system and other public interventions where people are seen as equal social partners. We can get rid of violence. We know torture is a result of violence and is promoted by violence. Violence begets violence. I would like to persuade my brother, Hon. Kang’ata, to look at these things differently. The African society is an inclusive society and we might not go the way of killing everyone who is not behaving well. We can get people who are not behaving well to behave well by reforming their character and behaviour. We have behavioural change institutions like schools and prisons. These institutions can create an environment for reforms. I do not know why the police believe they must torture everybody who comes their way. The other day, we were talking about promoting public relations in the police. They never learn. When police chase youths with viboko, they are anxious to beat them. Policemen chase women in the villages and extract money in the pretext that they are getting rid of traditional brews, which in some cases, are not illegal undertakings. They lock these women together with other suspects irrespective of their ages. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
