"content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, listening to the Chair of my Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, herself a distinguished lawyer, I want to ask her about a Statement she has read, that the only exculpatory material in it is a Statement from the deceased. As a lawyer, is the Chair telling us that the deceased made a dying declaration upon which the Government is relying to exclude itself from reliability when we know that due to laxity at Bookers Police Post, armed criminals walked in and disarmed police and walked away with guns? Out of shame, the police invaded Shibale Market, indiscriminately brutalized people; shooting at anybody and everybody. Furthermore, they raped women We have a case where a woman said that the policeman hit her private parts with a gun butt. It was reported all over. Can the Chairperson go back and bring a proper response to this statement because we know that the cause of this fire was a bullet fired by the police that hit a gas cylinder used at the workshop, which then exploded and killed this man. It is not remotely connected, it is directly connected. Could the Chairperson, whom I have great respect for and who suffers sometimes indignities by reading answers written elsewhere by people who have no respect for the truth, go back and look for a truthful response, bring it to this House, tell us the outcome of the inquest and simultaneously, we will seek legal advice and sue the Government for this reckless act that caused loss of lives?"
