    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Rev. Niemoller, the holocaust survivor, once said that when they came for the communist, he did not speak because he was not a communist. When they came for the Jews, he did not speak because he was not a Jew. When they came for the Catholics, he did not speak because he was a protestant. By the time, they came for him, there was no one to speak for him. It is not easy to speak for peace and justice. At the funeral of J.M. Kariuki in 1975, Mr. Alfonce Okuku made a memorable eulogy when he said that in 1965 when they killed Pio Gama Pinto, they did not speak because he was just a Muhindi or an Asian. In 1969, when they killed Tom Mboya, they did not speak because he was another Mjaluo. When they killed Ronald Ngala, they did not speak because he was just another Mswahili. When they killed J.M. Kariuki he asked them, “will you not speak because he is just another Kikuyu or will you say that Kikuyus are killing each other?” These are things that, through this forum, we must speak regardless of our tribes, parties and regions. Until that day when we shall look at each other as Kenyans and not as Luo, Kalenjin or Kikuyu we will not realize real peace. That would only come when we stop looking at the Mungiki problem as a kikuyu"
