    "content": "When it comes to issues of the original sin, we have a lot to say about that in this country. The first Deputy President to be thrown out of office without ceremony was Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. He picked himself up. He did not go inciting hateful tribal sentiments, but went and formed the Kenya Peoples Union (KPU). Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was put under house detention. His son, Raila Amolo Odinga, was in detention for eight years fighting for this country. When he left detention, he did not come out bitter. He did not build artificial warriors and soldiers. He did a handshake with President Moi, which was unthinkable because for him, he was concerned about making Kenya great. There are people who have suffered in this country, and I do not want to make parallels and draw comparisons because then, we will be trying revisionism. Let us focus on making Kenya great. Negative ethnicity, the divisions that we are seeing, the belittling of certain communities that we are seeing even in Parliament and out there on the social media is not going to work for this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am perhaps one of the longest serving Members in this House on this side. When it comes to opposition, we know all the tricks and have the stamina. We shall work together with a government that is committed to making Kenya great again. William Ruto, do not be distracted into negative ethnic conversation. Make Kenya great. Fix our military, economy, logistics, health and education. Make Kenya truly a Silicon Savannah and you will have the unlimited support of Senator Moses Kajwang’ the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Brigade and by extension, Raila Amolo Odinga. I second."
