    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here with a very heavy heart because as I thought the country was trying to heal, this afternoon, it is more like we are trying to open up the wounds. If this statement is not considered to be profiling a community, then I would not really be able to understand when people referred to other communities to be the only ones who attended the swearing-in, especially by the names that have been read in this House today, mentioning only the Hon. Members from one community. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to categorically say that I was at Uhuru Park and my security was withdrawn. I did not hear my name being read as somebody who is now left for God to protect him and yet the Constitution allows me to have security. I would really request under your wisdom that we should not continue to discuss this matter and allow the Senate Majority Leader to come back with a more comprehensive response rather than trying to profile a community. This is because the more you listen there and trying to read more names, how do our people feel when only the Luo people and their leaders are read as the only ones who attended the Uhuru Park function yet there were other hon. Members who did so? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was not in vain that the Peoples’ President was sworn in on that day. It was real under the new Constitution. He was sworn in as the Peoples’ President – President Raila Amolo Odinga."
