    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, are we in the same country? Does the same Constitution protect us? Do the Constitution and the Bill of Rights not apply when dealing with Kikuyu in this country? Is it right to behead people? Who will protect the people of Lamu? Why are we dying aimlessly? I can no longer look at widows and orphans. It is getting out of hand, and I fear my people will soon turn against each other. It is tough to watch the widows. When you are out at night in Lamu, you are only afraid that you will run late and be beheaded. I call upon the Government to protect the people of Lamu. We recently lost the wife of a Member of the County Assembly (MCA). The MCA was the target. He is currently disabled. The people of Poromoko, Hindi and Pandanguo are afraid for their lives. People should not die just because they come from a certain community. We do not suspend the Constitution because people are from a certain community. Senior Government officials sometimes tell me that my people are dying because I am in power. They tell me I am very ambitious and so, my people are dying. Do I not have the right to become anything in this country just because I am a Kikuyu? Is it fair? Should it be like this? Who will protect me? My life is in danger.
