    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that Kenyans are dying. We have an opportunity to talk about issues, but we are talking semantics. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, no army of 100 people can work without a command. So, somebody is, definitely, organizing these people to kill. In that Delta, rich Kenyans have bought large tracts of land and are keeping cattle there. There is an attempt to exterminate those people, so that the rich can own that land. Let us face it! Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, last week, nine policemen were killed. Seven of them are from one constituency. How can seven policemen be from one tribe in a small area? Let us face it. Somebody is involved. Why is it that so many months after the death of Saitoti, the President has refused to give us a Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security? What is the motive? The Acting Minister comes from around that area and so, how come somebody else cannot be brought to sort out the mess? I am scared that Kenyans are going to war. Last week, four people died in Mt. Elgon. In Rongai there is already a simmering war because of bad Government policy. In Mombasa, just two weeks ago, you saw ordinary people killing policemen. If you cannot have the military do it--- What we care about is the lives of Kenyans."
