    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I brought a Statement on the Floor of this House about the killing of my own Personal Assistant (PA), who was abducted by security agencies, killed and dropped somewhere in Kapenguria. Up to now, nothing has been done for the former Member of County Assembly (MCA), Hon. Benson Kiptire, who was killed by security officers. The same happened to the Pokots who were arrested in Kapenguria, then killed and dumped in a place called Kaptagat in Keiyo. We must face this thing. I am glad that the DPP, who is a Muslim, appreciates the challenge that we are facing in that area. I think that if we want to get somewhere, we have to support the DPP. Sometimes I do criticize the DCI and the DPP, but they have shown public concern on extra-judicial killings, something that has never happened in many years. To supplement the work they are doing, I suggest that Sen. Sakaja comes up with an ad hoc committee that can be chaired by him or whoever he would choose. The Committee would specifically investigate the issue of extra-judicial killings. We should give them 60 days to come up with a comprehensive report so that when we speak as a Senate, we also have an opportunity to present these things. That will give us room to support the work that is being done by the DCI and the DPP in checking rough officers. We want the DCI to come here and assure us that it was not a camouflage, but a clear disbandment of rogue agencies that were carrying out extra-judicial killings. This is because he is the one who disbanded the previous Flying Squad and the likes. The police 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."
