Recently, we watched a very strange incident where the police took the lives of two young men in front of television cameras, for whatever reason they did it. The right to life is a fundamental right under Article 26. I do not know anything that is more urgent than a statement that seeks to end the life of a Kenyan and is issued by an officer, public or otherwise. The urgency of this matter needs not be stated. I join those who say that the excuses given are very mundane. We are being taken for a ride. I agree with Sen. Billow to the extent that irrespective of who issued the statement, any person who takes away or issues a directive of that nature should be condemned. It is actually a Rome Statute issue."}
