    "content": "justify extra-judicial killings. The killings cannot be justified in any way, shape or form just because the welfare of police officers is not being handled. It is despicable. Under no circumstances can we ever justify taking away human life without fair trial. The extra-judicial killings and enforced disappearances offends the Constitution and administration of law and justice. I cannot under any circumstance understand how it is possible to make a justification for the extra-judicial killings. I invite the Senators who have made those comments to attend one of the hearings and hear the stakeholders such as the civil society and human rights organizations make presentations on what happens in some of the cases. I was overwhelmed when I heard that in some cases, it seems as though we have criminalized poverty. The police officers pick people in the slums and they disappear. The next thing you will hear is that the bodies of the people who were picked by police officers are found. We heard that many bodies are found in the Tsavo National Park and many other areas. The extra-judicial killings have been going on for long. It even seems they have increased and more incidents are happening now. Madam Temporary Speaker, as a Committee, our work is cut out. I know this is just the beginning and we still intend to go around the country, see this upfront and hear from some of the family members of the witnesses."
