"content": "Order, hon. Members! When Kenyans, regardless of their colour or origin commit crimes either by killing members of the security forces or robbing banks and killing other Kenyans, they are criminals and you deal with them that way. If a bank is robbed by one member of a community in this country, you cannot come out here and label the whole community murderers or bank robbers. This is a law making body and this country has come out of a very sad history of ethnicity. The Constitution is very clear; when you commit a crime, you do not do that because you have an ethnic personality. Some of you are lawyers and know that a person commits crime in his or her own individual capacity. So, the Chair is not going to accept a situation in which Kenyans are collectively branded on the basis of their ethnicity on any crimes, whether it is cattle-rustling, banditry or robbery. They are going to be taken as criminals and that is the spirit."
