    "content": "Thank you. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, today is a very sad day because there is a clear demonstration that our security apparatus have no idea on how to behave and how to act. They are operating in total impunity and in total violation of the Constitution. With regard to that particular activity, we will demand to have an apology from the Commissioner of Police or else he quits tomorrow morning. We will not tolerate this. We know our colleagues here and we will indulge them. However, they are equally hurt. What is happening with the police? Why are they doing this? I know that they have been doing that even in other pastoralist areas. They have been doing that in Pokot, Turkana, Transmara and in places like Murang’a. We have seen boys being given terrible treatment by police officers. Where are we heading to? Why? The Prime Minister will give his pledges here. The Cabinet will plead but there is something which is not about to change within the police and the Provincial Administration. They are completely oblivious of the complaints that Kenyans have raised during the years. The General Service Unit (GSU), the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) and other police officers are not concerned at all. There are very few who are clean. The worst hit is the GSU and ASTU. I am aware of a few cases. Indeed, I filed a Question regarding their activities in Transmara. We have similar cases and we cannot continue to tolerate this. I associate myself with all the views that hon. Members have given. I want to stop there because, as you had indicated, I had two minutes."
