    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. It is a matter which, because of its seriousness, this House adjourned to discuss it. If it was not serious, Parliament would not have found it reasonable to adjourn in order to discuss it. The Speaker, in his own wisdom, allowed Parliament to discuss this matter. There is an obvious disconnect between the Assistant Minister and the officers on the ground. Ministers come to the Floor of the House repeatedly to deny allegations. We paraded and, in fact, tabled photographs taken on the day when the administrators were assaulted. We tabled in this House the underwear, the coats and the linen that the chief was wearing, which was blood-stained. Of course, the Assistant Minister, together with his officers, had an opportunity to have access to those items. The Assistant Minister and his officers had an opportunity to access this area. Why does he find it necessary to deny such an obvious acts by officers of the Government? I am not saying the entire police force was responsible for this. There were individual police officers who were responsible for this. They beat up these chiefs to an extent that they had blood and we tabled it here. What immediate action has he taken instead of denying? He does not need to parade anybody because it was not done at night. The chiefs know who tortured them. They were airlifted, not by Government officials, but by good Samaritans from Wajir North. What action has he taken to arrest those criminals in uniform?"
