    "content": "for positions in international organisations, instead of supporting them, you judge them based on what happens in a village. I am very sad about that. I did not expect people to celebrate the loss of a Kenyan in an international contest. It is a shame. You cannot celebrate the loss of a Kenyan in an international contest. You cannot do so. If our athlete loses in a contest in the New York or London Marathon, do you expect me to celebrate because he is not from my community? Or because he is not from my region, religion, village or ward? Shame on you. The people who did so must desist. They must never repeat that. I must say this on the Floor of the House because this is where we address issues of concern to the people, and that is an issue of great concern to the people. You cannot tell Kenyans that they cannot contest for positions outside Kenya. Even when we contest for positions in Kenya, they will not vote for us. We have taken this matter seriously and we do not want it to happen again in this country. We must always support our fellow Kenyans wherever they are. We impeached certain individuals who were telling us that we were not shareholders of this country. That is what they told us. We have not forgotten. They told us that we were not shareholders in this country. I do not know when the shareholding certificate was issued in this country. At Independence, everyone was there. You should call for annual general meetings so that we know which shares we have. If you have been impeached over that kind of nonsense, why should you continue to celebrate the loss of a Kenyan in an international contest? We will stand firm and hold our heads high. We have not lost anything. On the contrary, we have gained because we have registered the name of Kenya in the international arena."
