    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to agree with my brother, Hon. Ng’eno. He has stated the truth and I want to stand by what he says. First and foremost, I wish to send my condolences to the families of the people who lost their lives in a very tragic way. These are innocent people who were killed by unknown people out of assumptions that they did whatever was presumed to have been done. The businessman who was killed from my family is called Ole Kolian. This is the fourth time people have tried to kill him and they succeeded this time. On the ground, we hear that he had refused to lease his land to people because he wanted to use it. People believed they could buy the land or push him out. This is a tragic situation. We may say that there is peace. I have made sure that all my life, people live in peace and harmony. My constituency is an enclave surrounded by the Kisii, Luo, Kuria and Kipsigis, but I have been able to maintain peace and harmony among all these people. Fighting used to be there before, but I made sure that I cultivated peace by allowing development to take place where all communities are involved. More so, where we had problems, I made sure that a constituency was hived off from my constituency, namely, Emurua Dikirr, which is represented by Hon. Ng’eno, in order to build peace and harmony. It has been my job and role all these years to ensure people live together peacefully. We are all Kenyans and nobody chose to be born in whichever community they find themselves in."
