    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, with a lot of humility, accept the possibility that you have allowed me to vent on this matter. I want my colleagues in this House to listen to me carefully. I have frequently been in the public saying that we need to stop killing our children and that we must accept that we are the ones, as adults in the House, who have been messing up in this Republic. I have listened to all of us discuss in this House, and I hear everybody saying, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let us make sure that this guy is arrested and all. What was Ojwang’ discussing that made this man kill him? It is corruption. The reason this young man was killed is because he said the police service receives close to Kshs56 billion every year. This is the story. This is the big thing in this House. However, we are talking about, oh, Ojwang’ is killed, we need to arrest so-and-so. This country has to be fixed and you are the people to fix it, and you are refusing to fix it. This is because we are part and parcel of the mess of our country. When we are discussing this issue, you politicise them. You say, “oh, it is broad-based, oh, it is all about those people, the ones who are on the other side.” When this thing collapses, all of you will be in the same boat, I tell you. You will hang separately. You are the people betraying this Republic. The police officers are a consequence of our failure. That is the reality. We have refused to accept that we can fix this country, that we can work together, that we do not have to be tribal. That we can actually act as adults, but we behave like children when everybody outside is crying saying, where are the adults in the House? I beg you, people, let us sit and fix our country. What happened to Ojwang’ is a consequence of a failed system. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
