"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will speak as briefly as I can because I believe the Kenyan people need to know the truth about this cattle rustling thing. What we have here is utter dishonesty from members of different communities. We have had two different incidences in our country where a number of soldiers were killed. One is the recent one in Kapedo where 21 soldiers were killed. The other one is not far in memory; the Baragoi Massacre where 45 of our armed men from across our land were killed. If I might take you back, when those soldiers were killed in Baragoi it was none other than the Members of Parliament from the Turkana community that time; Ekwee Ethuro, the current Speaker of the Senate, Nanok, the Governor of Turkana County and hon. Munyes who is now a Senator, who went to the Press and said exactly what that Pokot elder said: “We went and killed those soldiers because we thought they were Samburu warriors.” That thing is on record and I want my friend, Lomenen to behave like a Member of Parliament because I want to give him respect."
