    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to confess that at one time I was a member of a select Committee, like this one, which was investigating the death or the assassination of a former Minister of Foreign Affairs in Kenya, Dr. Robert Ouko. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to warn this Committee that these are very sensitive issues. When you are in a select Committee like this, you are not dealing with simple religious leaders. You are not dealing with simple priests who are godly, but you are dealing with criminals. These are criminals who hide in religion and make a lot of money. Therefore, when they are in this kind of business, it is very sensitive because when you go there, money will be flying around you. You will also be touching on the feet of very important people, even leaders in this country. When you are in a Committee like this, you must be committed. There will be a lot of temptation, but all of you must be united so that you can bring out the truth. If you do not bring out the truth, you will have sold Kenyans. We want this Committee to put a stop so that this kind of heinous crime is never repeated in our country. I saw my brother Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale almost losing his temper. This is something on which we should lose tempers. This kind of death is not a simple death. This is a massacre. It is worse than those assassinations we were investigating. Assassination is a single individual who is killed, but this one is killing people enmass and not just from Kilifi. These people are from all over Kenya. Kenyans are suffering. I am a Christian; an Anglican and I believe that the fate of my religion is also at stake because people will not believe us. People will not believe these people in the flock who come to preach when some of them can spring up and kill."
