    "content": "I am happy to report to the House that we have made tremendous progress, in terms of zeroing in on the culprits of that violence. We have already taken 10 people to court who have been charged. We intend to take another 12 people to court this week. The third part of the Question is on whether or not we have been able to zero in on the major masterminds, planners or orchestrators of this violence. I am happy to report that we have made tremendous progress. We will charge a number of people in the coming weeks. We have been engaged on the ground, in terms of putting the security infrastructure on both sides of the border in the two counties. Our forensic investigations have led us to certain people of interest who will record statements, including people from Kericho and Kisumu counties. I promise the House that Sondu violence will be dismantled this time round. The infrastructure around Sondu violence will be dismantled. We will be extremely firm and hold accountable all those who—in one way or the other— have encouraged, participated, funded or in any other way enabled that horrendous crime against the people of Sondu. We call upon the political leaders to be a little patient with us. Sometimes investigations take a bit of time. I give commitment that we will neither spare anybody nor introduce ethnicity or any affiliation. We will charge everybody who is culpable irrespective of ethnic, political or other affiliation. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
