    "content": "During the Harambee, Kalonzo started speaking in parables and accused me of bringing Hon. Duale to his home. He accused Hon. Duale of being a murderer and a person who should not be brought to Mwingi North, which I found dishonourable and uncouth. He also accused me of working with a Government of thieves. The public shouted back at Hon. Kalonzo telling him that he had gone to his constituency with His Excellency the President, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, whom he was now accusing of being a thief. It should be noted that Hon. Kalonzo has not shied away or even stopped working with any Government that has given him an opportunity. At this point, the goons attacked the young man who had told Hon. Kalonzo that he had taken the President to his constituency. One youth was floored and beaten and the other one ran to me for protection. I thought I had the capacity to protect that youth until one, Senator Muthama, the Muthama of nusu suruali at the Speaker’s Gallery, took a chair and aimed at my head. This happened in full view of Hon. Members who sit in this House. Thank God I responded quickly and managed to kick the chair. Hon. Deputy Speaker, lives would have been lost in this incident were it not for my bodyguard who shot in the air to stop the goons from beating and stoning the youth. There is a history of political deaths and violence in my constituency, which I would like to bring to your attention."
