    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 15th June, 2016 I rose under Standing Order No.45 (2) (b) to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations regarding the harassment of bodaboda motorcyclists in Kakamega. To date the answer has not come. I want to thank you for allowing me to renew the request for the Statement. The Chairperson should clarify the following: (1) Why are boda boda motorcyclists in Kakamega being subjected by police to: (a) confiscation of their motorbikes; (b) arrests, and; (c) demand for bribes? (2) Is the Inspector General of Police aware that the matter is so grave that some of the boys have actually lost their lives through extrajudicial killings? (3) What are the reasons one such a boy, Jaconia Apwoka, a father of four children aged one to four, was shot dead in cold blood on the morning of 14th June, 2016, at Sichirai Village in Kakamega? (4) What action has been taken against Police Constable Serem of Kakamega Police Station, who shot dead the above boda boda youth? (5) Why have no arrests been made and charges preferred against the above blood-thirsty officer, who has been involved in several other such cases of extrajudicial killings before in Kakamega County?"
