    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is my maiden speech. It is not time for Sen. Murkomen’s point of order. I am sorry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are divided in this country. When I sit here, I can hear the hon. Senators. I thank my brother from Nandi County for having commended his President’s speech. Looking at the speech, I find a lot of problems with it. Therefore, I am not going to say that it was a great speech. This is because we can write things, but what is practically happening on the ground to our people, is on the contrary. The Masai people, particularly those from Laikipia, are suffering. Their cows are being killed every single day. I have witnessed and seen it on videos. I have spoken to my brothers and sisters on the other side talking about what devolution means to them. They say since they got this devolution, the Masai are more marginalized. I have seen cows being shot and a calf getting off. Cows that we heavily depend on have been left pouring milk. This is a sad state in this country. I know that my colleagues on the other side of Jubilee party, think that we had a free, fair and credible election. I hold a contrary view. We talk about the importance of respecting the three arms of Government. In his speech, the President talks about making sure that they are respected. However, in this country, we do not do so. We talk about it"
