Garissa Senator Abdul Haji, has defended his utterances on Wednesday, during a Special Senate Sitting to discuss the murder of Albert Ojwang, while in police custody.
While on the floor of the House, Abdul said that there has been an inconsistent response to police brutality cases and killings, warning that focusing on select incidents, while ignoring others, could cause divisions in the country.
The Senator singled out a recent case where he said that his Turkana counterpart had raised concerns about the killing of 40 fishermen, but there was no request for a special sitting to discuss the matter.
His utterances drew mixed reactions in the media and on social media, with some users accusing him of siding with police impunity, while others detested.
