    "content": "ferry in Mombasa, the brutality that the police were meting out on the citizens, it made us know that these people have a problem. I do not know if the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is also seeing the same. We want to strongly condemn this behaviour by our security officers. In future, we would like to live in a nation where people will run to the police when they have a problem instead of running away from them. The other day when we saw brutality in America, we saw how Americans rose against it seriously, making the whole country almost ungovernable. However, in Kenya, we come here and talk about it and it is swept under the carpet just like that. This House must condemn police brutality. We must see in the courts of law these perpetuators jailed for a long time. In America, for example, the police officer who committed the heinous crime was jailed. I do not know for how many years. Therefore, we must see such people prosecuted as a matter of urgency in Kenya so that others may learn from the same. We condemn the brutality in Nandi and other parts of the country and we would like to see the law take its course fully as soon as possible."
