    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. You are very kind. First, I would like to thank Sen. Cherargei for coming up with this Statement. Last week on Friday, Governor Sang, hon. Sudi and myself visited the family of Agnes Tirop at their home in Nandi County. It was a sad occasion. When this murder occurred, I was shocked because I know Iten to have been a peaceful town. The people of Iten recognise athletes. Iten is nothing without athletes. It is one of the towns that have been developed by the resources of our athletes running all over the world. Iten hosts all our top runners, people like Rudisha grew up in Iten, coached by brother Colm O'Connell and many other coaches who have coached many other athletes in that town. Unfortunately, on that very day we received the news with a lot of shock and gave Iten and Kenya a very bad image that an athlete had been killed. If anybody was following the news, this story like Sen. Wetangula captured, was probably covered more by BBC, Sky News and CNN more than our local media. It was breaking news all over the world that an athlete had been murdered in our country. I send my condolences to the people of Nandi and the family of Agnes Tirop. I will stand with the family with my personal support. Secondly, this act is a demonstration of how serious domestic violence is. The evidence that is in place points to the purported husband. Who has been having an abusive relationship with this lady. Evidence will come out in good time and I hear that this lady was hoodwinked in the name of reconciliation to meet her killer. Unfortunately, that fateful night she was in a training camp and somebody hoodwinked her in the name of meeting for reconciliation, then she was murdered. Domestic violence is a national crisis. You have seen some other characters also who are being investigated online called ‘the Ndichus’. This is a national conversation as it"
