    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the country will remember that sometime last year, a similar problem arose at the University of Eldoret in respect of an attempt by Sen. Melly - our colleague here - trying to eject Prof. Agenga because she was a Luhyia. The Chair of the Committee worked on it and we got a satisfactory answer. Could the Chair come armed with the results of the investigations into that particular incidence because my fear is that Governor Mandago, having seen Sen. Melly get away with it, thought he could apply the same standard against Prof. Ayiro? Because of the issue of ethnicity cropping up, allow me to inform the country that days after Prof. Agenga had been harassed, Governor Mandago went to the streets in Eldoret and got Luhyia street children. He put then on trucks, went and dumped them in Malaba on the border with Uganda and said that he does not want them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would like an update of investigations into Governor Mandago. We would like that investigation to go beyond just the person because when Mandago came from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headquarters after being grilled, he arrived in Eldoret Town and was received by tens of thousands of people from the villages. This mindset - primitive as it is - seems to be resonating very well with the locals. If the Government does not move in, I have no apologies to say that just like the issue of the land resource contributed to Post-Election Violence (PEV), the issue of university opportunities might contribute to violence in Eldoret."
