    "content": "with the people of Africa. That dream must live with the Presidents of Africa. It is not a small dream. It is a dream for which some of us who went to Addis Ababa and saw what happened in Addis Ababa have picked. We will continue with it, that one day, if not us, our children will see a united continent on the basis of economic excellence, on the basis of social justice, on the basis of politics that is good, that can advance the quality of life for the African people. Those dreams will not die because Raila Amollo Odinga cast them on that stage called the continental stage. So, it is not a light matter of just being in Kenya. We have seen in this continent young people being radicalised because of lack of economic opportunities, economic emptiness, turning young people to be Al Shabaab militia, economic emptiness turning young people to be Boko Haram militia. We see that same kind of trend even in the continental stage today, that people who the country had no confidence in when they were serving at the highest level, when they were impeached in these Houses, radicalising even young people who are in this House. You find young people being made to sing Mau Mau war songs, to dress like Mau Mau, to camp like Mau Mau, to start behaving like Mau Mau in a way that is radicalising people who are elected to come to this House to promote a concept of national unity, and promote a dream for young people in this country. Therefore, we must start thinking of how opportunity and good policies for young people are made possible so that radicalisation of young people can stop not only in Kenya but in the continent."
