    "content": "I do not think that any politician, who may try to glorify criminals, who are making this country dangerous and unsafe to live in, lives in this country. The police have to be hard on criminals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Raila also asked: \"How do we know that these were criminals?\" Guns were recovered from them! In fact, investigations showed that the AK-47 rifle that was recovered had been used in Mt. Elgon, Kinyoro village and the other village in Kitale. So, this is the same gun that has been terrorising the entire area. The police are now closing in on the criminals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Members that these gangsters have nowhere to hide. They have messed this country a lot, but we are now zeroing in, on them. I want to assure the citizens that we will manage. But I also want to ask the politicians, especially from the affected areas, not to try to use these kinds of situations to gain political capital. This is because when a Kenyan citizen loses his or her life, even if you get one vote out of it, what do you gain at the end? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information that we have about the involvement of politicians is still under investigation. We have not yet concluded the investigation and found that anybody is involved. If we find out that any politician is involved, there will be no execution. We will arrest him or her. We do not have any information also that some Ministers made any inflammatory statements, because we do not rely on newspaper reports. If hon. Raila has that information about any inflammatory statements being made, let him report to us, and then we will deal with it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Capt. Nakitare raised the issue of the uniforms. Again, that was in a newspaper report. The information we have is that these were fake uniforms that resemble those of security officers. There is no information anywhere---"
