But it is an operation that has been ordered and everybody has been told to give it a human face. It is not an operation that involves an external country. As we speak, as much as we abhor the suffering of that chief, let us also recognize that we have also lost an administration police officer under similar circumstances - in fact in that operation. Another one was shot in the neck. Those are also Kenyans. The Government takes a very serious view of everybody’s human rights. Having said that, both the Minister and the Assistant Minister responsible for internal security are not with us. I was briefed by the Permanent Secretary and his team and I want to say that a full statement will have to be issued. However, let us recognize that this Parliament has boldly enacted the Organized Crimes Act. We need to educate our people on the full implications of operationalizing that particular Act. All the organized groups, including Mungiki, OLM and others, the moment we fully apply the provisions of that Act, there will be more screaming in this country. However, even if that has to happen, let us recognize that this country has started a new chapter and we cannot afford to be seen to be backsliding. So, let us give ourselves hope. This matter will be thoroughly investigated and the Minister responsible will issue a full statement."
