    "content": "(c) prejudice a political interest or political cause that is legitimate under this Constitution.” There are more fundamental issues in the situation of Baragoi. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to submit that some elements that are fomenting trouble are doing so for the purpose of ensuring that certain communities are gotten rid off in certain areas. Even within the Turkana County which is homogeneous, whenever we have an operation, it remains a fundamental right of the people to register as voters, but this is being violated. How else do you explain a rigged election? Rigging election does not mean stealing votes at the ballot box or at the polling booth. Rigging of elections starts at the process of preparing for those elections. We call upon you with due humility and require that you defend the Constitution, the lives and property of Kenyans, and especially against this discriminatory bias against the people of northern Kenya. I thought we had become independent. During the colonial time we were part of the Northern Frontier District (NFD). You needed special permits to go to northern Kenya. Now, 50 years down the road it is as if we are operating in the same way. It is only the House that can come to the defence of Kenyans. We plead with you that the request by hon. Kapondi is acceded to."
