    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Motion. I would also like to thank hon. Martha Karua for moving the Motion. Since there is no much time, let me say that I join other hon. Members in condemning the killing of Sheikh Rogo and the burning of properties within Mombasa. It is important that those who killed Rogo and those who burnt churches face the same music. They must be apprehended and charged in a court of law. We will be happy to hear that this happened. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us also encourage the church ministers and Imams in mosques to instruct the youth on matters of respecting each others’ faiths, so that we do not have a group of young people being brought up with the wrong notion that one faith is inferior to the other. Let me also say that, as politicians, we have a responsibility to ensure that we do not weigh in on this issue to capitalise on it for purposes of getting political millage or some form of support. We should stand united and condemn the incidents, as leaders, so that wedge does not find room in our country. Those who want to create a wedge between Muslims and Christians should know that they have no place in our country. Let it also be known that when this happens, those who are going to suffer most are those from the coastal area because the economic activities in this area will certainly be affected."
