my neighbour, I know his opponent and competitor. I am not aware that the person he defeated has gone for maandamano to take away his seat. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to tell the country that the illegal demonstrations being perpetuated by Azimio-One Kenya Alliance is no longer about what they are saying about the cost of living or the high cost of food.

Madam Temporary Speaker I rise under Standing Order No.105 on the authenticity of facts. Can the good Senator withdraw or provide evidence that the altercation that was seen in the border town of Sondu between Kericho and Kisumu counties--- He comes from a faraway county. Some of us who are neighbours know that it was about the border issue and the issue of leaflets from some of the political leaders from Nyanza region. Can he provide evidence or withdraw?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know why you have allowed my Chair, Sen. M. Kajwang’, to profile a certain community. That is wrong. I am aware and I have evidence that certain political leaders from the neighbouring Kisumu County were issuing leaflets. I will table the evidence tomorrow from 2.30 p.m.

We have evidence. We do not just make statements for the sake of it. I do not know why Sen. M. Kajwang’ is getting emotional yet I have stated that I will table the evidence. The issue of Sondu is sensitive. While we appeal for peace, we cannot allow certain political leaders to do that. We are aware that they wanted to use Sondu to instigate lawlessness. I am going to table the evidence.
