The MP was speaking about reports that some Kenyans are being taken to Russia, trained for about three weeks, and later sent to Ukraine to fight in the ongoing war. He questioned how three weeks of training could prepare someone for war.
While explaining his point, the MP said that even bandits take more than two years to train before they start their activities. His statement immediately caught the attention of many MPs in the House.
The Majority Leader quickly stood up and questioned him. He asked the Baringo North MP whether he has experience or knows how bandits are trained.
He reminded the House that the government is working hard to fight banditry and improve security in affected areas. He warned that such statements could send the wrong message to the public.
The House became tense as members waited for the MP to respond. However, instead of giving a clear answer, the Baringo North MP simply laughed. He did not explain himself further.
Some MPs were seen smiling, while others looked concerned. The moment created mixed reactions in the chamber.
The short exchange became one of the main highlights of the afternoon sitting. It showed how sensitive security matters are and how careful leaders must be when speaking about issues touching on national safety.
