    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to contribute. Hate speech or incitement cannot be fought by breaking the law. This nation now knows about Article 251, because the President has told us to follow the Constitution in matters to do with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). It is time we highlighted Article 51 as well because people in custody have rights. I hope that the Government will also parrot Article 51 the same way they have parroted Article 251 to the nation. The thrust of my argument is that there is clear evidence that as a nation, we have not matured enough to police ourselves. We have a police force that we thought had been transformed, but we still see them killing people and taking actions that lead to bloodbath. Last night in Kibera the Nubians and the Luo communities were fighting and people were killed. Muslims and Christians were fighting and people were killed. This blood must be on someone’s head. This is the more reason Kenya should not withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC). One day, somebody will have to pay for this. We might not have the maturity to hold people to account today, but someday in future we will. As a young Senator, I long for that day when justice will be served on the people responsible for the deaths in Kisumu and Siaya in the hands of police and the 500 people who were killed by the police in post-election violence."
