"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to convey my heartfelt condolences to the residents of Baringo County who have lost their dear ones. This Motion is very important. Any life that is lost is very important to this country. Article 26(3) of our Constitution on Right to Life says:- “A person shall not be deprived of life intentionally, except to the extent authorised by this Constitution or other written law.” It is unfortunate that some people are issuing shoot to kill orders. This Constitution does not give anybody that power. We know the gravity of the matter. We understand the situation that is currently prevailing. However, we should try to avoid a situation where somebody will take advantage and take out the life of another person simply because they have been told to shoot and kill. It is a pity to see Governor of Mombasa, Gov. Joho continuing to live a very frustrated life. His bodyguards, the people who guard his house have been suddenly withdrawn and he has been left helpless. The same thing happened to the Governor of Kilifi County. It is very unfortunate. This kind of situation can catapult Mombasa County into another situation like Baringo County where people are losing their loved ones. If the Governor of Mombasa County would loss his life, then Mombasa would not be the same. It will not be the way it is. Life is very important and the State has a duty to protect it. The same thing might happen to the Governor of Kilifi County. Recently---"
