    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, arising from what we went through in 2007/2008, all of us as leaders in this country have a duty to sue for peace. I think it is something that we must preach in all occasions. However, even as we sue for peace, we as leaders of this country, have a right and a duty to behave responsibly. I do not see why, as someone who comes from the Nyanza region, I should make it a point of always calling the Press whenever I am going to have a rally in Nyanza. I want to particularly talk about the case of Raphael Tuju. It is on public record that in 2005, when we were doing the Referendum, Raphael Tuju went for a rally in Kisumu, when security officers had advised him that it was wrong to do so. In the process, several people died. When he got a chance to give an account of that incident, he said that he owed nobody an apology. This matter was very painful to those of us--- In fact, not only did he say that he owed nobody an apology, but he also made very derogatory remarks about certain communities in this country. The question I am asking the Assistant Minister is this: Clearly, the case of Raphael Tuju has been a case where somebody apparently goes out of his way to provoke people. What does the security forces in this country do against politicians like Tuju, who provoke people and then run back to start looking for sympathy?"
