    "content": "Hon. Speaker, indeed, this Petition raises issues that need to be addressed quickly but allow me to play the devil’s advocate. The way this Petition is presented is likely to raise temperatures and cause more chaos. I believe that as Members of this National Assembly, it is our responsibility to act as members of the Kenya National Assembly. Where there are conflicts like this, we must apply our skills in conflict resolution, contact our colleagues and address the conflict. The way it is being addressed here is likely to cause more chaos on the ground. I believe the best way would have been for the Member to contact his colleagues on the other side so that they sit together as leaders because it is not just happening in this constituency. It is happening even between our borders in Kisumu County and Nandi County but I believe now we must rise as Members of this National Assembly to address this issue as nationalists. If we do not do it, then as we approach the elections, these tensions are going to rise and violence will escalate. Thank you."
