    "content": "Government this time will not be the one we were given when we asked why young men are found in forests having undergone the kind of torture that this chief has gone through. Are there laws for different Kenyans? The most painful thing is that when you torture a human being and we have now the habit of discussing people on the Floor of this House as openly as we do--- We have now discussed the life of a man whose only crime was to be an assistant chief or a chief. Today, he is the topic of national debate. We are discussing the kind of torture he has undergone and, of course, there is going to be psychological effect to his family. That kind of responsibility for the Government is very heavy, because we are not talking only about an individual, but a community. We are talking about evoking emotions that are creating tension in this country. I want to ask the Government, as it responds, to be very clear about the operation. Let us not hide. We are tired of the Government hiding from us. What is this operation that was being carried out and why did it have to resort to the torture of Government agents? As you answer that question about the operation, you should also tell us how officers of the Government can attack other officers of the same Government. Tell us, as one of our colleagues has said, what the role of the Government was in this issue. We do not want anything to be hidden under the table anymore. Give us the facts because the Committee is also capable of getting the facts. If we see any distortion in bringing out this issue, this Government will have to take major responsibility."
