    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice on the killing of this most dedicated and loyal servant of the people of Sigowet/Soin Constituency. Mr Joshua Mutai died in the hands of a person who is on the run. There is fear in the constituency, particularly in Sigowet Ward. Everybody fears for his or her life because this man is on the run. We have taken up the matter with the administration in the sub-county. When I talked to the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC), Mr Kisalu, today in the morning, the man was still at large. We condemn this act and request the office of the Speaker to issue a Statement that will calm my constituents, particularly in Sigowet Ward. We know very well that there is a man on the run suspected to have killed somebody who was not being paid a salary. Lastly, the village elders, managers, and pastors are the first points of contact whenever there is calamity in the society. When there is death in the society, these are the first points of contact, yet they are not paid a salary. As Parliament, we must make sure that one day these people are remunerated. The little amount they will get will be worth the sacrifice they make for our country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Statement requested by my colleague."
