    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I like giving examples about my mentor. If he disappears, that will be very serious. I was saying that for that reason, this House needs to pronounce itself properly on this matter. We were told that JM Kariuki disappeared and somebody else told the House that he was in Zambia having fun. However, he was found dead in Ngong. We were told that Ouko had travelled from somewhere in Koru to co-host a function in Gambia as a Minister for Foreign Affairs, however, his remains were found in Got Alila. We cannot allow a situation where a public officer or any citizen of this country is allowed to disappear like that, for whatever reason. That issue must be taken up by this House. I believe that your office can lead this House to ensure that this Senate addresses that matter substantively at a given time. Finally, I want to give a message, clearly, to the Governor of Kericho. If you are innocent, you have nothing to fear. You have already shown humility and we support you for deciding that you will not run to the courts. We want to support him for what he has done right. If he is innocent, of course, we have to make a decision. We have to do what we must do, however, painful it is. That is the position of the law. For all those reasons, I stand to say that I support counties. I am not one of the people who bash county assemblies. County Assemblies have done their job. Any Senator who will be quoted by the press bashing any County Assembly Member for performing a function over which we have an appellate jurisdiction; telling them that they are a lynch mob will not be correct. We have a second chance to correct the decisions they will have made."
