    "content": " Thank you, very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In law there is what we call the doctrine of laches where somebody would want to come out after a very long period of time to seek relief. Suffice to say, this is a person who was meted on electoral violence by goons and as a result lost humongous amount of property. I do not think the law of laches would apply in this case and he will be refused to seek relief. This is a lesson to all of us particularly, those who are in this House and those wishing to come to this House. That, certain times when we mete violence on innocent people, the destruction takes too long to be indemnified and that is why this gentleman has come before us. This is a person I would support but with a rider that Kenyans need to learn very great lessons out of this. That it does not pay to get involved in any form of violence. We need to live as one unitary society and this informs the azimio la umoja . So, we live together as brothers and sisters without necessarily having to fight over leadership positions. At the end of the day, Kenya will stay, our brothers and sisters will stay and if you lose your life in violence, it does not pay anything."
