"content": "I appeal to the Kenyan and Haiti governments. The reason we are going to Haiti is because they are black like us. The song by Busy Signal, Free Up says Malcom X is black. Haitians are black. Kenyans are black. That is what the Free Up song by Busy Signal is all about. Haiti is black. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are going to free up Haiti, mofaya ! On the other aspect of compensation, I appeal that whenever a fatality happens, the Government and the UN must take up provision to the dependents and payment of school fees, if unfortunately, we lose some soldiers. I propose that should our officers get injured in the line of duty, they get medical care at the USA veterans hospitals, so that they get quality medical care. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is an important Motion on national security. This is an honour. The country should be proud that we have been called to lead from the front. I do not know why our colleagues from the other side want to lead from behind. The Bible says in Deuteronomy, Chapter 28 that we are going to be the head and not the tail. I do not know which pride the country should take to lead from behind. We should lead from the front and the League of Nations has called the country to lead. I appeal to our soldiers as they go there, they are not the ordinary Administration Police (AP) officers who fight chang’aa in the villages. They are paramilitary."
