    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if what I watched on TV is true, it is very shocking. It is upon the Committee to go and find out the truth. The admission of the Inspector General (IG) of Police is that, that brutal act was committed by police officers. Police officers are supposed to be working for the NPS, whose mission is to serve the people. The manner in which that student was beaten and considering that one student was able to film that incident, I believe that there are many other incidences that have not been filmed that would have attracted even greater outrage in the country. I believe it is time for us to sort out this issue. I have seen some of my friends who in the previous years were complaining about police brutality now celebrating police brutality in Kibra. A similar thing happened in Kibra during the just concluded by- election where policemen watched as a former Member of this House was being attacked, and they were laughing. For the record, when our colleagues in the minority side brought statements about police brutality in this House, all of us condemned it. In fact, we took task to say that it had to be investigated and the truth must be found. I remind them that the normalization of police brutality that you are now supporting for political expediency, yet you do not know how long you have that political advantage---"
