    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. On my own behalf and that of the people of Suba North, I wish to give my condolences to the family, friends and Kenya in general for the death of Hon. George Nthenge. This was a real democrat in the days when democracy had any meaning. Unfortunately, we now have people who purport to be democrats while they are not. Democracy has become insane. We wear it and remove it like a petticoat. We do not take it seriously because we have a very short memory like that of a Warthog. We forget where we have come from as a country and we have made democracy a very cheap issue. Hon. Speaker, I am listening to Members talk about their own memories of 1991. I remember during the Saba Saba Day I was on my way to visit a friend of mine in Nyahururu. It was a great day in this country. That time I did not know that I would be a leader in this House, but we stood outside as the great leaders were passing and we were shouting and screaming. In that entourage there were Kikuyus, Luos, Luhyas and the common agenda was democracy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
