    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Kriegler Report said that unless this country reforms its critical institutions of governance; and unless we act, what we saw in terms of Post-Election Violence (PEV) will be like a Christmas party come the next general election. What we are seeing are very dangerous signs and worrying trends of violence emerging again, whether it is between parties or even intra-party activities. We have seen violence in the ODM grassroots elections. We have seen violence in the recent by-elections. What I want the Assistant Minister to assure this House is really what the Government is doing - particularly his Ministry - and other agencies involved like National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) and Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), to work together to ensure that they nip in the bud the culture of violence that is creeping back into our politics. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like the Assistant Minister to assure the House and all those aspirants like Mr. Raphael Tuju, of adequate security wherever they will go and campaign in this country."
