"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to make a Personal Statement, pursuant to Standing Order No.76. On Saturday, 23rd April, 2011, namely, the night of Saturday, which could also be the early morning of 24th April this year, the home of Emily Wanja, one of my key supporters and co-ordinators in Gichugu and the larger Kirinyaga County was attacked. Her house was broken into and she was brutalized. This is in Ngiriambu Sub-location of Gichugu Constituency, Kirinyaga East. On 26th March this year, at a public rally in Murangâa which was hosted by some of the Ocampo Six, certain utterances were made by politicians targeting people they perceived as traitors especially people who come from the former Central Province which now comprises of five counties. They said that those who do not belong to their camp, and I am one of them, we shall be pointed out and our homes will also be pointed out. It could not have been that the homes were being pointed out for banquets to be delivered to us or for visits. These were threats to harm. Is the attack on Emily Wanja, my key supporter and her being brutalized a coincidence or the beginning of political thuggery? I am very saddened that the police have not shown any interest to investigate these threats to injure and harm, which were uttered by some politicians at this rally, including a prominent Minister of Government. I am reviewing the video recording of that meeting with a view to making a complaint against the politicians that are identified in that video. I call on the police to do thorough investigations and see whether those threats to injure are connected with the raid on Emilyâs home."
