    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Senator for Kakamega County and he proved that anyone can be in Kakamega at any time and you will be able to have a meeting. What we now want the Government to do is to ensure that those who were caught are investigated and justice must be done. We had one person who passed on courtesy of the hooliganism. When you ask who brought the teargas; it is obvious that governors in this country are able to do anything. They are “small presidents” in every county and they have put police in their “pockets”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you find that they are even able to manipulate the police to be on their side rather than on the side of the citizens. So, we must ask ourselves, as we go to 2017 election whether we will ensure that nominations are done in a manner that people will appreciate. That is very critical and we must come out clearly and tell those who are used to violence when doing nominations that no Kenyan will pass on for the sake of one person becoming a leader in this country. May it be a curse to their families! The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
