    "content": " I stand guided. Hon. Mutunga, I did not blame anyone. I like being honest. I do not like doing politics when sensitive things are happening. I did not talk about any negotiation. I only spoke of a Member who made a statement. I am sorry about that, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I still say that we politicians need to watch our mouths. Honestly, we need to. Tomorrow it might be me who says something that could interfere with our relationship with our neighbour. That is all I was trying to put across. On the same note, other neighbours have issues in the East African Community. As a big brother in this Community, it is important for us to talk to other brothers and sisters who have similar issues. They could be issues that are worse than ours. Specifically, I will talk about the Democratic Republic of Congo. They have issues. They are our neighbours, and they run to us. Many of them are here in Kenya as refugees. They are flocking to our country. Only sending our troops there is not enough. We could also find a way to help the DRC have peace so that the mothers and children of that country live peacefully and within their rights. We should cooperate in this brotherhood and sisterhood and make the neighbourhood more important to us than anything else. We do business with our neighbours, and if our relationship is encouraged, more intermarriages, businesses, and other things will happen. For example, when Kenya faces drought, our cows are taken to the other side to get water and vice versa. We might take it as simple on paper, but we have the East African Community. We need to go down to wananchi and tell them that if they see a neighbour from Uganda, Tanzania, or any other country, they should take them as a sister and a brother. We should also teach our children that the citizens of our neighbouring countries are our brothers and sisters so that we can live in harmony. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not have much more to say. I support this Motion."
