    "content": "I also note that for once, this Agreement expressly provides for the payment that should be made for the use of the land in Laikipia by the British troops. We have had the unfortunate incidence, as a country, of giving preferential treatment to outsiders many times at the expense of locals. It is surprising that for all the years British soldiers have operated in Kenya, they have used our land for training without a specific payment being made to the people of Kenya. If we extended the argument to cover other parcels of land across the country, I would not be surprised to find many multinationals using our land without compensating the people of Kenya. Sometimes this is where we discriminate against ourselves. Perhaps the reason these soldiers got away with this murder is because we give preferential treatment to foreigners at the expense of locals. Hon. Temporary Speaker, if a police officer finds a white man and a black man who have perhaps run a red light, the police officer will stop the black man and send him to prison, but the white man will be left scot-free. If there is a conflict in a marriage where maybe there is a white man married to a black woman and violence is meted on the black woman, the police officers will most likely side with the white man. The reverse is also true when we have violence being meted out against a black man by a white woman, you will find our judicial system giving preferential treatment to these white people or non-Kenyans."
