    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in passing my condolences to the family of Agnes Tirop. Violence against women continues to thrive in this country, especially this time of COVID-19 pandemic. Greed also drives people like this gentleman who killed Agnes Tirop. It must have been greed. Where is his human heart? Where is his patriotism? Where is his human nature to ensure that life is saved? How do you sleep and dream about killing somebody for your own benefit and gain? Madam Deputy Speaker, we need to pass a law where sports trainers are not involved socially with athletes. First of all, they have a responsibility over this person and now they breach responsibility over that person because of a relationship they are in with that person. They breach responsibility of training and other things. What kind of a human being is this? Even if all those things do not matter to him, where is that sense of patriotism as a Kenyan to ensure that our athletes are preserved? It pains me very much that a man just decides to kill a lady because of her wealth. Where do ladies get reprieve? When you have a property, people kill you. When you do not have, you are disturbing them and they kill you. How are you supposed to survive all this? It is my considered opinion, that this man should be punished more severely than the ordinary criminal. I think he should be stoned to death and not even jailed. The sports department or the Treasury should train athletes on their investment. If that money was invested somewhere, this guy would not have had an opportunity to murder her. The temptation would have been less. That money would have been stashed somewhere earning interest instead of tempting people to kill others. Madam Deputy Speaker, the Committee you are referring this matter to should not treat it as another murder case. This is a special circumstance and should be treated as such. As I said earlier, mental health is a challenge in the world at this point and specifically in this country; it needs to be addressed urgently so that we do not have such a thing occurring in the future."
