    "content": "This brings me to an experience I had last month in Kigali. We were in an international conference of the Inter-parliamentary Union in Kigali. The people of Pakistan, experiencing a worse disaster than the one we are having because of drought, came up and asked the international leadership to make a resolution for the creation of a global fund that can be used to bring relief, not only to Pakistan, but also to Turkana County. We had over 1,000 parliaments represented there. Do you know what happened, the Members of Parliament (MPs) from Africa refused due to arrogance. They said that it is Pakistan. I was there alone. I did not succeed for obvious reasons. Before we could walk out, the debate on Ukraine came up. We were crying that Ukraine should be protected from attacks from Russia because it has occasioned shortage of fertilizer, food and other things. People from the developed world wondered whether we were educated leaders from Africa or something less. I appeal to you, colleagues, Members of Parliament, the Senator is asking for only three things, which are rapid response, introduction of feeding programmes in primary schools and drilling of water. Let us support him so as to create a great Kenya that is equal. One day, when my son will have an opportunity to read the HANSARD of this nation, I want him to know that he had a father who was a man and cared about humanity."
