    "content": "(2) Meeting with the Attorney-General, the Chairperson and Members of the National Police Service Commission, the Inspector General of the National Police Service, Mr. Hillary Mutyambai, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Nordin Haji, the Director of Criminal Investigations, Mr. George Kinoti, and the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary. They were not able to attend, but on 23rd May, we will meet so that we finalise on our report. On 18th we will go around Nairobi and also visit Kisumu, specifically, Kondele and Nyalenda. We shall also visit Garissa and Mandera in North Eastern to deal with issues of forced disappearance in the guise of fighting terrorism. (3) Site visits and meetings with stakeholders in Garissa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nyeri and other areas of interest to the inquiry. The Committee wishes to thank the Offices of the Speaker and the Clerk of the Senate for the support extended to it in undertaking this inquiry. Further, it wishes to thank stakeholders who have so far appeared and made submissions before the Committee. As I conclude, it is so sad when you listen to stories of women whose children have been forced to disappear at the Coast. It is sad to listen to people who have lost young sons and daughters in this City because of trigger-happy police officers. It is so sad because it is like it is a crime to be poor and young in this country. When you are poor and young, between 14 and 30 years, and live in the slums in this country, you are likely to be killed by the bullets of the trigger-happy police officers. It is so sad because the age between 14 and 30 years is the time a person should be more productive to the country. However, it looks like it is dangerous to be poor and young in this country. There is a case at the Mombasa Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) outpost where someone was killed. These are some of the issues we are talking about. We have heard of many mothers who have lost their daughters and sons in Mombasa and North Eastern parts of this country."
