    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, cases of police brutality against unarmed peaceful citizens are on the rise. When the Chair of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations brings the Statement, could he tell this House under what circumstances and what provoked the incident for the police to unleash live ammunition on citizens that were peacefully demonstrating, in line with the provisions of the Constitution. Secondly, as a matter of emphasis, have the officers who carried out this cowardly and heinous act be disarmed, arrested and locked up ready for prosecution for the homicides that they committed? Murder is murder; it matters not matter who has committed it and where. International law requires that crowd control is done by truncheons, horses and less lethal weapons. Why does the police leadership allow armed trigger happy policemen to descend on citizens, not to mention the cases we saw in Nairobi County during our Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) demonstrations, where they killed many Kenyans whose deaths have gone unaccounted and unanswered for?"
