    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will make two quick comments. The first one is on this issue of the reported number of wanton killings across the country that we have witnessed the last few days. I also agree with those who are calling on the IG to up his game and bring the country up to date on what is really happening. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it cannot be business as usual when you wake up each day to news of people who have been picked out of taxis, their homes and eventually found to have been murdered. This country has enough infrastructure and technology advancement that can place criminals at the scene of crime. Technology can also help follow leads to ensure that those who are perpetuating these heinous crimes are eventually caught up with and the country rests easy knowing that no matter how long you run and hide, eventually you will be arrested. This is the job to the IG. I expect that he will do this very urgently. Mr. Speaker Sir, on the issue of the FKF raised by Sen. Catherine Muma. I have only one request to our Judiciary. We have come such a long journey to ensure that we have these elections. However, I am pleading, almost to the point of begging, that our Judiciary allows the country to run its course. We know and understand what is happening in this country. In fact, I have seen football fans jokingly say that if Vinicius Jr. was a Kenyan, by now he would have gotten a court order to stop Rodri from picking up his award from some judge either at Kirinyaga or somewhere else. We want our judges to know that much as we respect them, they should also respect other institutions. Once they have made certain decisions, let the matter rest and be at that. They should not accept every invitation. Therefore, my humble plea is that may this election be conducted and the men or women that will be elected to run our football for the next four years be granted the opportunity to do so."
