    "content": "Second and most important, I thank Sen. Sakaja for spending a good amount of time speaking about the issue of extrajudicial killings. As a young person, and more so a leader representing so many young people in this House, the issue of extrajudicial killing continues to pain my heart. It is unfortunate and sad that even this House has never formed a select Committee. I encourage Sen. Sakaja that when he eventually brings a Motion to set up a select committee to look into extrajudicial killings, I am willing to serve together with him. This is because growing up as a young person I watched so many of my friends and people that I went to school with here in this City being killed. These were just young people that maybe were misguided or did not have the proper appreciation of what life is about. A simple sentence into a facility for them to be rehabilitated would have saved their lives. Unfortunately, a police officer decided to cut short their life. Have we not watched a video of what happened to those young people in Eastleigh? Up to date, nothing has happened to those particular officers. We have made it our culture and there are police officers who run Facebook pages known as Hessy waDandora and Hessy wa Kayole, where they give warnings. If they tell you: “Get out of this hood or we will kill you,” and you do not, true to their word, they kill you. Are we saying that we do not have the capacity to see who these rogue officers carrying out these extrajudicial killings are?"
