    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has been wandering around but his main point is what he concluded with, which is; ‘welcome to the opposition’. I now understand the reason as to why Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. admires my seat and the reason as to why anybody in opposition would love to have those in Government go to the opposition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is something that you must rule on from your Chair. We serve different political entities in this House and that includes the Senate Majority Leader. Are we trying to say that the people of Elgeyo Marakwet County will not have a voice in this House because of my capacity and position as the Senate Majority Leader? For all my colleagues who are going to respond, I think that the people of Elgeyo Marakwet County deserve a lot of respect and representation because I would never have been the Senate Majority Leader had it not been for them. It is in this single instance that I have brought an issue on behalf of Elgeyo Marakwet County. I am always on the Floor of this House defending issues. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. did not even say that I was among the people who spoke so much about Thwake compensation issues when it was brought to this House and I even talked of Arror and Kamwerer dams. I want your protection because I have seen that there is a pattern where people come here to attack my position as the Senate Majority Leader. I want you to protect me and the people of Elgeyo Marakwet County."
