    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I represent Vihiga County, which has the highest concentration of churches and several prominent churches headquartered. I am very sad that some of the victims of this massacre are from my county. That is very sad considering the fact that we are a county that believes in real Christianity and not fake Christianity that this church is practicing. The Shakahola massacre almost reminds me of Boko Haram. That is why I want to agree with those who say this is terrorism. Boko Haram started like this. They believed that education was harmful and they went on like that and started believing that purification was more important. They wanted to practice Sunni as opposed to Shia Islam. Boko Haram has grown to cover several countries in Western Africa: Chad, Niger, Mali and others. Therefore, it saddens me that this crime has been going on for years, without the knowledge of the State. In fact, the biggest terrorist in this matter is not this individual called Mackenzie; it is the State. Where was the State? Where was the National Intelligence Service (NIS)? Where was the police? Where was the County Commissioner? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let this not just be a Motion of Adjournment. The relevant Committee has to visit the place and even do an inquiry that this House can look at. Most importantly, the causes and contributors of these religious crimes must also be analysed and understood. I can see my good friend, Sen. Oketch Gicheru, wants to contribute. So, I will not go into many details. Let me just urge that let us restrict ourselves to the teachings of the Bible. The things we see in the media are not good. In fact, some colleagues on the other side go to church every Sunday and say they are talking about God. However, they end up talking about one man called Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga and not Jesus or God. Shame on you! I support."
