Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to comment about this very important issue. Hate speech and hate mongering is a threat to the fabric of this country. The bad manners of our politics will tear this country apart. It is nothing compared to sleeping in a cell and being arrested when Kenyans kill themselves and butcher each other because we politicians incite them. To the contrary, we continue to benefit from the same political environment that we find ourselves in when we are arrested, charged and taken to court. This behaviour must come to an end. The Chief Justice has ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a general growing obsession on the other side of the political divide, led by the Senate Leader of Minority and Sen. (Dr) Khalwale, that every time you want to mention somebody, there is a total obsession with the name of the Deputy President. The Standing Orders are very clear that if you mention somebody or something, you must be ready to substantiate. Can the aspiring Governor for Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, provide evidence that the Deputy President is an investor in concrete poles, as we have no problem with what he is talking about?
