    "content": " This was all in the name of my position as the Leader of the Majority Party in this House, and for doing my work to the best of my ability as helped by God. I swore by the Bible that I would execute my duties without fear or favour, and to the best of my ability. I will continue to do that and no one should doubt that. Hon. Junet Mohamed has mentioned names. During the impeachment process of the former Deputy President last year, I said that he is a dark man with a very black heart. I dare say today in this House, Hon. Rigathi Gachagua, is the one who directed goons, whom he had mobilised, to go and murder my parents, and destroy my property and that of the people of Kikuyu, in the name of revenge. We cannot build a country that way. That is why we are asking the Inspector-General of Police to take action. It cannot rest at this. Nobody – not Kimani Ichung’wah, Rigathi Gachagua or any sitting Member of Parliament – is above the law. He and some two Senators are responsible for that carnage. As Hon. Junet Mohamed has said, if you look at the trajectory of violence and destruction that was witnessed, you can associate it with a particular politician and the area they come from. As we condemn those actions, let us call on the Inspector-General of Police and the Director of Criminal Investigations to take action against anybody involved in this criminality, whether it is Kimani Ichung’wah, Junet Mohamed, Rigathi Gachagua, Jayne Kihara, Peter Kaluma, Onesmus Ngogoyo, Mejjadonk, John Gakuya or Senator Methu. Each and every one of them should be investigated without fear or favour. Whoever is culpable should be brought to book."
