"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also condole with the family of our late departed Member of Parliament, Hon. Edward Cherutich Kiptanui. He was a great man. He went through many political storms within Baringo County, which was a hotbed of politics at that time. I recall when I was in Form 4, we decided to register for voter cards and even went ahead to register for Identification Cards (IDs) in advance. This is because my father believed in Hon. Edward Kiptanui. I voted for him twice, in 1979 and 1984. The third time, due to the political storm, he was removed from power by the Kenya African National Union (KANU) mandarins at that time. However, in my opinion, there was no election in this country in 1988. The mlolongo ‘nonsense’ introduced then led to Hon. Kiptanui's removal from power. The people of Mogotio and Eldama Ravine constituencies still remember him. As Members of Parliament from Baringo, together with the Member for Rongai, his neighbour, we have jointly visited his family."
