    "content": "I was saying earlier that Burundians are as black as myself, Hon. Opiyo, the Africans and the black people. Chad is another African country that is in this mission. Other partners in the Caribbean and America are also of African descent and black people. I wanted to begin by disabusing that notion that it is a Kenyan mission. It is a Multinational Security Support Mission, which Kenya is honoured to lead. As Kenyan patriots, we cannot stand in our own National Assembly and say that we are using our officers. Our police officers are very patriotic young men and women, who have given their lives to protect life and property of Kenyans and the people of the world where they may be deployed. Just like the doctors affirm to the Hippocratic Oath, our police officers and other armed security men take an oath to protect lives and to serve their nation anywhere they may be deployed, including residences of our leaders like Hon. Opiyo Wandayi. That officer guarding your house today is a patriotic young man or lady who has given his life to protect you and your family. We cannot, therefore, disparage them by saying they are being used as guinea pigs. They are doing their patriotic and national duty to elevate our country’s security forces and their performance. From the submissions of the Leader of the Minority Party, the other nation that is being disabused is made to look like the first mission that the National Police Service is being deployed to."
