Asante Bw. Spika. Ningependa kuunga mkono Sen. Madzayo kwa kuleta Taarifa hii katika Seneti. Kwa hakika, ni aibu sana kuona askari wakimpiga mama. Hiyo ni aibu kubwa sana kwa sababu akina mama wanafaa waheshimiwe. Hakuna mama ambaye anatarajiwa kupigwa na polisi. Ni tabia mbaya sana kuona askari wakiomba hongo kutoka kwa raia. Hiyo ni tabia mbaya sana na wanafaa wafunzwe adabu na sheria inafaa ichukuliwe. Ninashukuru kwa sababu niko kwenye Kamati ya Usalama wa Kitaifa, Ulinzi na Mahusiano ya Kigeni. Kwa kweli, tutachangia vilivyo na tutahakikisha kuwa mama Karisa amepata haki yake.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Let me thank Sen. Shiyonga for coming up with this Statement. It is very sad that a police officer can just shoot a woman. I am sure this woman was unarmed. It is very sad that the officers go for training, come back, and join the forces when they are slim, but after three months, they add weight and cannot even run. I think it is high time that the Ministry concerned thought about this issue. These officers should be going back for training even if it is after six months. They should be reminded ...

It is high time the Government puts its house in order, more so, the Ministry of Health. Let us equip all of our facilities with the necessary equipment, so that we can detect and treat cancer. Since I am on the Floor, let me pass my condolences to the families of late Hon. Oroo Oyioka and late Sen. Haji. I was not here when the House was condoling with their families. It is so sad. May they rest in peace.
