    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 84, I wish to make a personal statement regarding late compensation of the victims of the Solai Dam tragedy by the management of Patel Farm in conjunction with the Office of the County commissioner, Nakuru County that appeared in sections of print and social media. It is alleged that the said management in consultation with the local leaders has concluded the plans to compensate the affected families. I wish to offer a public explanation that the alleged involvement of local leaders is a lie as such a programme was conducted by other leaders purporting to represent my constituents. As an elected Member for Subukia Constituency in which the very incident happened, I wish to categorically clarify that I was not involved neither was I aware of the said arrangement. They have even intended to petition this House over the matter but I was advised by the leadership to hold the petition pending the outcome of the investigations by the relevant committee of this House and the investigation agencies. On that note, I wish to welcome the recommendation by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on this matter. I take this opportunity to urge my constituents to remain calm and peaceful as we pursue this matter in the best of their interest. I also wish to caution my colleagues from the neighbouring constituencies to refrain from interfering with the affairs of Subukia Constituency, particularly on the matter bordering on Solai Dam tragedy.
