    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to congratulate Sen. Cherargei for this Statement. This is not the first time that we are crying about police brutality. You saw that during the curfew and now at the border. A message has been sent to me right now because of Sen. Cherargei’s Statement that a young man from Isiolo by the name of Abdi Nasir Hussein, a medical student, was shot in Merti Town last evening. Abdi Nasir Hussein had rushed to his grandmother’s place to check on her because she was not feeling well. On his way back to his place, he was shot by a police officer. This is becoming too much and as Sen. (Dr.) Langat has said, it appears as if the lives of Kenyans is not worthy of anything. In America, racism and racial profiling has gone on for many years, but when George Floyd died, the entire country stood up for him. The worst thing to do in situations like this is to stand by and watch and do nothing about it. I congratulate Sen. Cherargei for bringing this to us and by saying that something must be done because this House cannot stand by as lives of young people who would have contributed to the economy of this country are extinguished. The Committee needs 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."
