"content": "Last week, I made very good reference, particularly to Prof. Anyangâ-Nyongâo, Mr. Gitobu Imanyara, Mr. Paul Muite and Maj.Gen Nkaisserry who was the immediate outgoing chairman of the AMANI Forum for the distinct role they have played in nurturing AMANI Forum, especially the Kenya Chapter to become the most viable chapter in the region. We have taken our own medals just like our athletes have done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would like hon. Members, in the words of the âMarathonerâ we have in the House, Mr. Lagat, that he ran the marathons of London and Boston. I wish to remind him and all of us that in 2007, he undertook the greatest marathon to come to Parliament. All of us must undertake the marathon of bringing peace and stability to our country. We must appreciate our neighborhood. We should not look at the tribe, but at issues and values. Violence should never be an option. Mr. Nelson Mandela is a living icon raised in this continent. We had Mahatma Gandhi in the sub-continent of India who preached peace and died because he committed himself to bringing about peaceful co-existence between the Hindus and Muslims of that country. He did not want Pakistan to be divided and separated from India. When he was shot he said: âI am dying and I am going to heaven because I have fought a good fight.â Let all of us, in the words of the national anthem remain faithful to our commitment and worth to the nation. With those remarks, I would like to ask Mr. David Koech, the MP for Mosop who is a very good friend of mine; a man whom I call my ambassador because he was the original representative of AMANI Forum. We have two representatives to the region; Mr. Koech and Mr. Imanyara. I could not get any better person to second this Motion than him. I know there are more worthwhile Members to contribute, but I will call upon none other than Mr. Koech from Mosop to second this Motion. I beg to move."
