I slept in the forest and in shanties while it was raining when the Government officers came to burn down our houses. This is not a laughing matter; it is the greatest sacrifice that some of us have offered to this nation. Without a single compensation, they left Embobut Forest for the sake of the nation. Is it, therefore, in order for a man who I gave a chance and welcomed to launch his Presidential bid in peaceful Iten, as opposed to Kakamega where there was teargas, to continue making fun of our people and myself?"}
