    "content": "Government can post such write-ups on social media. They wish, anticipate, or pray for the occurrence of a vacancy in the Office of the President. They also purport that the Deputy President is only an inch away from the Presidency should anything happen to the President. We may take these things lightly, just as we may take the talk you referred to by the Governor of Nyeri County or the one about people going to their villages lightly. I agree with Hon. Osoro that these are the kinds of things that led us to the 2007/2008 post-election violence. People were told to go back to their villages. It is true we all come from villages. However, we must grow beyond our villages when we hold senior Government positions. We must remember that we bear a greater responsibility to Kenyans, way beyond our villages. Whatever words we utter must unite Kenyans but not create divisions. If we do not do this, it will bring dishonour and a big blow to the dignity of the office you hold. Lastly, as I said over the weekend elsewhere, respect is earned. There are Members of Parliament here who have suffered like the ones from Nyeri County. If the Woman Representative for Baringo County had an opportunity, she would tell you the unpalatable words that have been used to describe her. Let us earn our respect as leaders. If I demand respect, I must also respect the Member for Baringo County, the Members from Nyeri County, Mount Kenya, and across the country."
