    "content": "My Ministerial Statement request is directed to his Ministry also. I would like the Minister to tell the country, in a Ministerial Statement, what he is doing on the growing culture of violence that is creeping back into our politics on the eve of another general election. In the Statement, I would the Minister in particular to address the violence that occurred on 4th October, 2011, when hon. Raphael Tuju’s convoy was stoned in Kisumu and his tour of Nyanza region disrupted by a violent mob. On 14th November, 2011, again, Justin Shikanda Kongo, a New Ford Kenya supporter, was attacked on his way home from Port Victoria to Mundere, and was seriously injured. On 20th November, 2011, Patrick Shikuku, another New Ford Kenya supporter was assaulted after a meeting at Matayos, and he is nursing very serious injuries. Hanington Odairo Mukudi, who was the ODM Secretary for Funyula Branch, and who defected to New Ford Kenya on 20th November, 2011, had been receiving death threats, and this morning he was found dead in his house. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to say, in his Statement, what he is doing to nip in the bud this worrying trend to ensure that the country does not relapse into violence in the coming general election. Finally, let him state what specific action has been taken against the perpetrators of violence in the various parts of the country I have mentioned."
