    "content": "Raila Odinga has a very famous office at Capitol Hill in Nairobi. If you go into that office, there is a quotation from Martin Luther King Jnr. that hangs on his wall and it goes like this - “You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be, and one day some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause, and you refuse to do it because you are afraid. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer. You are afraid that you will lose your job or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity or you are afraid that somebody will stab you or shoot you or bomb your house. So you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you are just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.” Honourable Speaker, those people who have been waging this AU thing on our faces and gagging us, that thing has now been taken. We are unshackled. We are going to speak. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
