    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I am the one who brought up the name of hon. Godhana here yesterday. I am the one who put the original Question that Godhana had given me. I thank God for being in the Backbench with good colleagues because when I consulted on that Question, they told me that this was not a Question, but an incitement. The day I was asking my Question on his behalf he had put off his phone. I consulted my colleagues who have been here for longer than myself and they told me not to ask a Question on behalf of a Member who was not in the House. So, I did not ask it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, later on, hon. Godhana, without my knowledge, filed 16 Questions with the Speaker’s Office in my name. I was shocked when my Personal Assistant told me that I have 16 Questions all on issue of Tana River. I instructed my PA to write to the Speaker’s Office denouncing those Questions. I thought I was helping this country. Yesterday, he was here and I asked him to confirm to me that 48 people had died, so that we seek for a Motion of Adjournment to discuss this matter, but he dismissed it. I was with hon. Mung’aro. Because of my good intentions, there is no way I will continue sitting here with hon. Members who are inciting their people to kill other Kenyans. I will not be part of that Parliament. If, by today, hon. Godhana has not been asked to record a statement about the killing of his people, then I think we, as leaders, have failed this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am urging the Minister to take the necessary action. He should not wait for further instructions."
