"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was just about to correct you, but you realized that I am Sen. Wamatinga. I rise, in support of this Motion. I come from Nyeri County specifically, Mathira Constituency, where we tend to be honest and truthful men. In 2014, exactly one year after the election, we had the same incidents happening in Lamu. Needless to say, the current Governor was the Governor then. It is in our memory that after he was arrested, the matter stopped. I want to join my colleagues to condemn violence being perpetrated in Lamu against one specific community. This is ethnic profiling. We must say it the way it is. It is indeed very unfortunate that one lady, who I happen to know, lost her family in 2014. Now she has lost two of her sons who were left. There is a common denominator. We must face it and say it the way it is. In some of the violence that we saw being blamed on al-Shabaab, some people have taken advantage of the same ethnic profiling and systematically eliminated a particular community. It was the same thing in 2014. Incidentally, the then Governor was re-elected and is the governor."
