    "content": "are not State-given. When I say so, I am addressing great minds, the Chair being one of them, as a leading lawyer in International Law. Kenya is a signatory to so many conventions, Treaties and agreements with regard to this point which we are emphasizing. It is clear that whereas we have the Constitution 2010, this document has meaning in so far as the citizens of this Republic are concerned. Nevertheless, it is nonsense to the police force. It is very sad that the police officers are well endowed with training on human rights. Sometimes you wonder where these lessons end up. Just the other day, we subjected the new IG to a very thorough scrutiny in this House and he did swear by the Bible that he will uphold the rule of law. The person who should be summoned is the Inspector-General of Police because the buck stops with the leadership. Police officers normally take orders from their superiors. There is no better person than Mr. Hillary Mutyambai, my former classmate, who should come here and explain the brutality meted out against Kenyan citizens by the police officers. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to rest my case."
