    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was taught English by Dr. Griffin at the Starehe Boys Centre and School. “Consume” is an idiom. When you use “consume”, it is just an idiom in the English language. It does not necessarily need to speak to your local language. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I hope you will add me the minutes that have been consumed by the point of order. I was trying to explain the far that this country has come. Nations have gone to war to be where we are. The two principals, the President and Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga catapulted this country from war to peace. It was not easy because it has never been done and we must reflect on this moment. Countries are now borrowing a leaf from Kenya because the aftermath of any war is peace agreements and justice. A nation that was almost at the brink of war was saved by two statesmen and this is the conversation that we need to have as a country. Every generation in this country has fought for something. There was the fight against colonialism and one party system. Every generation has always risen up and has done what is expected of them at that time. As a generation, we are now called upon to rise up and do what needs to be done by passing this BBI Bill that binds us as a country. We must disturb the stubborn status quo. We must trespass on the taboos of nationalism. When President Obama came here, he told us we have not inherited this land from our forefathers, but we have borrowed it for our children and we must return it with interest. The interest we are going to give our children is this BBI Bill. I support the Report. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
