"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this chance. I support this Statement by my colleague, Sen. Sakaja. We all watched that horrifying video. As a man and a father of two daughters, that clip really shocked me because it could have as well been my wife, daughter, sister or mother who was involved in that unfortunate incident and the events that followed thereafter. What happened is extremely wrong. I hope that the law takes its course; each of those young men that participated in that activity are arrested and taken before a competent court of law for the full force of the law to be effected on this particular matter. As many of us support the young men that ply their hustle via the boda bodas, this is not the kind of behavior that we expect of them. Kenya is a country governed by the rule of law. Anytime you feel that somebody has done something that is not fair to you and you do not agree with them, there is a way and an expected nature of conduct on how you are supposed to react to these issues. What those young men did is extremely embarrassing to their generation, the menfolk and the country. That video clip has been sent to me by a few friends who are outside Kenya. They were asking what has happened to our young men and if that video clip was true. By the time people see such a video clip in the rest of the world, they assume that is what Kenya looks like and that is how we solve our issues as a nation. What happened is extremely embarrassing."
