"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I once worked in Kuria East, where Hon. Kitayama comes from. I took the County Commissioner of that area to Turkana County. That man became a Regional Commissioner later on. I took that man, together with the District Peace Committee, all the way from Kuria East. We took a route that took us to Tot. We crossed to Kolowal, we went to Tiaty and slept in Kapedo, and then we went to Lomelo. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the horrible situation in Lomelo made the County Commissioner cry because the area chief had not collected his salary for three months. Also, the food he was surviving on was not fit for human consumption, especially as an employee of the Government. Everyone felt sorry and we left that place with broken hearts. That was in 2010. We went to Kainuk, where we held a meeting with a peace committee. I will need more time, Hon. Temporary Speaker, as a result of what I have because this is the moment to tell the truth for Kenyans to know that there are areas where people are suffering."
