Members have raised issues of insecurity in this country. I want to encourage the Minister of State for Internal Security and Provincial Administration to listen to Members. I was a victim, even though that issue was challenged by the Commissioner of Police. I would like to take this opportunity to table before Parliament two statements that I recorded at Mbita Police Station on 14th February and on 15th February the night after I was attacked. I want to clarify that the Police Commissioner indicated that I was at my sister’s place, who is called Jane Akello. I have no sister by the name Jane or Akello. So, you will notice who is giving which information. In my statement, I did not say that my phone was stolen or that we had gone to a hotel and left. So, I do not know where the Police Commissioner is getting that information. I would also want to tell the Minister that I was with the Commissioner for Integration where we were talking about integration and healing in this country and despite the challenges we face, I will still speak that language. He can speak to the Commissioner, I was with her, including the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD); a very wonderful Kalenjin woman married to a Kikuyu, who was speaking with us the same language in the communities we were working with. I will not be deterred in speaking that language because there are some of us who need to speak it."}
