    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the facts, as set out by the Minister, are basically superficial, because they do not go to the depth of this issue that took place in Kisumu. It pains me as a Member of Parliament that, for the last one-and-a-half years, we have been preaching peace in Kisumu and assuring all residents that the violence that they witnessed in 2008 would never happen again. However, just when we thought we had succeeded, this happened. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the PPO and the OCPD are on record as having said that this violence was instigated by some politicians, without saying which politicians. It is very clear to him that the issue of security should not be politicized. If it is a politician who is instigating violence, that politician should be arrested and charged in court. In the present circumstances, for the police to politicize the issue and blame politicians, but not make any arrests, simply means that they are not willing to perform their duties. In this case, it is clear that the only politician they are referring to is based in Kisumu, and this is the one he has named as Onyango Oloo; nobody else. Under these circumstances, could the Minister tell this House clearly what action is being taken to deal with this particular politician who is inciting people in Kisumu?"
