    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of the Mau is in the minds of Kenyans today, just like it was before. People must leave the Mau so that it can be replanted with trees. We must have a forest cover in the Mau and other watersheds so that we have sufficient rain to feed our people. There is no need of us continually being beggars. You know what happened during the Ninth Parliament, when President Kibaki was serving his first term as President of Kenya. When the economy grew by 7 per cent, those people who used to give us money came begging us to take their money because they had excess liquidity in their accounts, and they wanted to dispose of the money to earn interest and they did not do so! Now, it was because the economy was growing we were able to provide--- The issue then of triple effects of that particular economic boom to the poor, and this would have been done except for us going into unnecessary wars and fighting. I think 2007 should be a lesson for Kenya, that you should not destroy or kill yourself through fighting because of elections or because of an individuals. We, therefore, wish political parties well now that we have the Political Parties Act; they are even being supported and should be managed properly. In the future, we will have political parties that are going to be issue-oriented; they will address what they will do for the Kenyan people, but not--- None of it will have anything to do with using your own community or your numerical strength to try and subdue others or to maintain your position."
