    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the brief opportunity. I stand to oppose the Motion. First and foremost, this House is not a rubberstamp. This Motion should have come before His Excellency made commitments to the international community that he was going to send troops out. It should have come then and once a consensus is built, then His Excellency could communicate that the people of Kenya have agreed to send police to Haiti. Secondly, our police do not speak French. Haiti is a French-speaking country. I do not know how they are going to operate. Third, the history of gangs in Haiti is well known. It begins with the interference of the United States of America (USA), in the free expression of the will of the people of Haiti. The Duvalier disasters had Tontons Macoutes and that is what created various gangs. I do not see these efforts succeeding in the absence of a political solution. That political solution is to return Bertrand Aristide back to Haiti from exile in South Africa and let Haitians choose their own leaders. There will be no need for all these rancour."
