"content": "That is correct! Yes! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the charge sheet is very short and I will be brief. It reads: - “Incitement to violence contrary to Section 96A of the Penal Code. 1. Josephat Koli Nanok 2. David Ekwe Ethuro On the 15th day of November, 2012, in Nairobi, within Nairobi County (not in Parliament so that they can evade the Privileges Act) jointly with others not before court, without lawful excuse uttered words namely “if you do not want to disarm the Pokot and Samburu, it is only the Turkanas you want to disarm.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even the magistrate wondered what is inciteful about that. You are just saying; “disarm everyone.” Is it inciteful to tell you to disarm everybody that is armed? The charge sheet further reads:- “You come in the night to shell a village. They decided that they better face them out in the valley. That is what happened in the valley. It is harsh, hot, caved and you cannot fight there if you have not fought there.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will tell anybody that if you deploy the military to Suba, Rusinga or Mbita Point and they cannot swim, they will drown. There is nothing inciteful about that. It is a mere statement of fact. So, if you take me to a hot place, I will burn. I am not used to that terrain. So, I do not know who is fueling this with an aim to stop elections. We know it and are watching you. Stop the games because you are killing Kenyans and life is valuable. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support and request that we add the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs or the Committee on Equal Opportunities or both."
