    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. George Khaniri who is a senior member of this House. He is also my very good neighbor because we share a common border. I am happy that I am contributing to this Bill. I thank him for bringing such a Bill. From where I sit, this is a very important Bill. My colleagues have espoused that it is timely. These are legislations that we are bringing into place to try to buttress, flesh and oil the wheels of devolution of in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I suffered the effects of political thuggery in the name of enforcement officers in Nandi County in 2014. At the beginning of this year, many Senators noticed that I was using an extra pair of crutches. People were wondering how this young man, at this age and time, can be walking with crutches. It was because of political thuggery in the name of enforcement officers. I, therefore, assure Sen. Khaniri that I am clear testimony and he is at liberty to use me as an example of what rogue enforcement officers can do to wananchi. Up to now, I do not have the full use of my legs. I have the full use of the other things. I thank God that they only attacked and maimed my legs. Had they attacked other areas, it could then have been challenging."
