    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir for this opportunity. I thank the acting Chairperson of the Committee on National Security Defence and Foreign Relations. I saw an advertisement on television today that he wants to be the Governor of Kisumu County. My condolences to the family of Ms. Joannah Stuchbury. It is unfortunate that she was murdered for her efforts in protection of the environment. The Chairperson of the Committee must be serious because his Committee has failed to tell the House two things.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I call upon the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. I believe in the Chairperson of that Committee, Sen. Outa, who is my neighbor. I know Sen. Outa as a rabble-rouser. I do not know why he feared to slay the"
