    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Chairman of the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee. There is the issue of profiling MPs to the extent that they are not able to do anything yet we are given that mandate by the Constitution. It is a high time that the citizens of this country realised that MPs are elected by the people of this country. They are not elected from Uganda or Tanzania. They are elected by the citizens of this country. It is funny that Kenyans trust other institutions more, including Principal Secretaries and Cabinet Secretaries who are handpicked, but they no longer trust and believe those that they have elected themselves. I support the Bill from the Chair of the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee. It is high time we got that Committee running because even though the politics of 2022 are very far, there already have been a lot of political flare-ups. There have been a lot of high temperatures and voltage. Politics in this country needs National Cohesion and Integration Commission to handle and tone down these early campaigns, so that we can wait and work for the citizens of this country. If the citizens trusted us and Mr. Okiya Omtatah did not take us to court, that commission would have been in place now and would have tamed these high voltage political campaigns and we work for the people until the period set aside for campaigns. There is normally a period set aside for such politics and campaigns. Because we do not have a commission in place to tone down the political temperatures, we are witnessing such high voltage of early campaigns."
