I am not challenging your ruling but, from the outset, let me also state here that I appreciate the concerns shown by Members of Parliament regarding my personal security. I believe that this is genuine concern, and I do not think that there is anybody in this House who is trying to kind of input any motive as regards what I have stated. Remember that, if you have not had the experience I had, it is traumatising to the extent that you can never imagine it in terms of shock. Indeed, last night, I had to take my mother, who was in shock out of the incident, to hospital. I want to believe that if you see your fellow slave being buried in a shallow grave, the same fate awaits you. I expect collective support in terms of the seriousness of the matter. I believe that the concerns being expressed in here, including those by Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, who is my party’s Secretary-General, are extremely genuine. Let us not play to the gallery. The matter is as serious as stated. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}
