    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for doing a good job. People are learning about extrajudicial killings in this country. Other than the case of prominent personalities like Dr. Robert Ouko, who unfortunately during the time of his death his daughter was in my class, and we all mourned with her--- The rest of the country now faces extrajudicial killings. Madam Temporary Speaker, where I come from, from the time of Independence we have experienced the extrajudicial killings in the name of shiftas . Tribal clashes also continue to occur and people are killed as a result of that. Currently, we are facing the AlShabaab militia menace. Our region has faced extrajudicial killings. This issue of people disappearing continues to happen on a daily basis where I come from. We had a case where 5,000 people died in a week. People who had been put in a concentration camp were left to become dehydrated, and they starved to death. That was very inhuman! You can imagine, in that scorching heat of 40 degrees Celsius; people were being kept in the sun for three days with no food or water. They ended up dying in large numbers. I lost four relatives in that massacre, and up to today, nothing has been done about the Wagalla massacre. There has been no compensation. Madam Temporary Speaker, even this time, we will talk about the extrajudicial killings, vent and rant about it, but after all is said and done what happens? We are here as representatives of counties and also of special interests groups. However, if all we do The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
