Let me congratulate the people of Juja, Bonchari and Rurii Ward and the entire hustler nation. I want to congratulate the entire ODM party for also standing firm against the intimidation of State police and tell those that intend to continue using violence that... Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, they have been lying to us that BBI is what will cure ethnic and electoral violence. What we saw yesterday..."
