    "content": "One of the cardinal rules is that life belongs to the state. We want the Government to take decisive action against the police officers of Bamba Police Station with regard to the incident that happened leading to the death of the young girl. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(3), I seek your indulgence that this Statement be referred to the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. The Committee should investigate the circumstances that led to the death of Ms. Margaret. There are several questions that are yet to be answered. Why did the police detain the 17-year old girl in a cell against the provisions of the Children’s Act and any other law in Kenya? Secondly, they should tell us the offence that the minor had committed for the police to detain her. That should be disclosed because they had gone there to seek transport to be taken to Kilifi Law Courts to give their evidence with regard to the rape that had taken place. It had already been recorded in the Occurrence Books (OB) in Kilifi and Bamba Police Station and the case was to be heard the following day."
