    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I just want to refer to something that the late Hon. Otieno Kajwang’ used to talk about while campaigning. He used to say that when he was growing up, his family used the old system of music. I do not know what it is called. Sometimes it would get stuck so, if they were playing a song called “ Anditi”, the song would just go “ Anditi”, “Anditi”, “Anditi”. It would not move from that point until you physically forwarded the music record. On the issues of ethnicity and corruption, Kenya has become an “ Anditi” system because since I came to Parliament, we talk about corruption and ethnicity every day. I will start by thanking the Chairperson. I hear people referring to him as a “mono” . You are not a mono. You are rightfully in Parliament. You are not a mono because you were elected by your people, who had faith in you. I also encourage him to use his intellectual capabilities to demonstrate. You have been told not to throw stones, therefore, throw your “intellectual stones”. You are doing that very well. Do not be intimidated by people who tell you not to throw stones. Some of us have thrown “intellectual stones” and that is why we are here. I do not want to use the phrase “ranking Member” because corruption has made sure that there are no ranks in this House. I just want to read a poem by Henry Barlow that we studied in High School."
