• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk about crime and justice, it does not carry two faces. We know very well what happened in Oklahama, when an individual bombed and killed innocent children in school. The result was that he also paid by death through lethal injection. We are talking about a developed country which deals with hard core criminals. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the death sentence was introduced in this country, there must have been hard core criminals. In 1998, elaborate hard core criminals bombed our city of Nairobi. What if these people were arrested and brought to ... view
