"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think that the issue that the Senator of Busia is raising is a pertinent issue and he has raised a dichotomous issue. One is the issue of the campaign, and the other is the issue of those who went to Addis Ababa. It would be remiss of me not to speak on one that does affect me directly. I did travel to Addis Ababa and I did interact with the people who travelled to Addis Ababa to give support to our own. I want to inform the Senator of Busia on the issue of those who travelled, majority of whom I interacted with and I also travelled to give Raila Amollo Odinga support. We self-sponsored to go to Addis Ababa. If you need the evidence of that effect, I am willing to table as many as possible of those people who believed that indeed, supporting our own, just like you would go to a Rugby Sevens in South Africa, or you would go to watch our sister Kipyegon run a marathon, or you would go to watch Kipchoge in the Olympics. I think some of us were patriotic enough to believe that this matter was very important for the country, that we self-sponsored ourselves to go to Addis Ababa. That is an important information that I think that patriots like yourself should understand, that patriots like us took that chance, and did take that hit to go and support Baba Raila Amollo Odinga in Ethiopia."
