    "content": "What is happening today to the Maasai people in Tanzania is sad. When I see them being shot with bullets, small children carrying babies running around, being evicted from their land, you build so much hatred. You wish that at least the people of the East African Community (EAC) can remember that those people are human beings and that land belongs to them. Madam Deputy Speaker, I see that my time is running out. I wish to end by recognising a few people who have meant so much to me in this life. My family donated me to the people to serve them. There are so many times that I do not sleep at home because I am running up and down to serve the Maasai people of Narok County who elected me. I have so much love for them and that is why I fight so hard for them. There are things which I regret. I hope that in future and if God is kind enough, the people of Narok County recognise the things I have done for them and give me a second chance to serve them again in the 13th Parliament. With the new President – I believe it will be none other than Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga – we will be able to end the atrocities and extremist measures being levied against our people. The people have been shot in Laikipia and many Samburus cows were killed. This is so painful for our people. I hope that when we get into the next Government, we will ensure that we deal with corruption and land grabbers."
