    "content": ". He will tell you what piece of land is his because he knows. Then why does he want to claim the whole world? It is not valid and it should not be allowed. We should not pretend that he can do so, because he cannot. He will not be able to do so. Let us know that nobody will do so. That is all we need to do. Let us allow our children to grow up together. We all know that they go to same schools and even universities together. How can we now send them back? We cannot do so. We have not allowed that to happen. They will also not allow us to do so. They are now very many. They are not few. The young generation in Kenya is the majority of our population. It will not allow those other people, whose minds are quite primitive, to divide them along tribal lines. They will go along with the modern world. That is the way it will go. I am quite sure, it will. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, we are here because we have survived in this nation all these March 18, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 205 years. We have also made progress in those years. Right now, we are making progress. We are going on. We had reached an economic growth of seven per cent. We are now going to move to eight per cent growth and we will move on. We have been meeting with many groups. We want to register a 10 per cent growth rate every year. I am sure, we can get there. So, why do we not do it? There is no reason for not doing so. So, let us do so. Let us build the new Kenya that we all want. I am also sure that you can get together any two or three people, talk to them and reach an agreement. There is nobody who is still very backward. It is only that certain individuals occasionally listen to some backward thoughts. They think there is a little loophole to reach that backward-minded goal. That one is not there. Forget it. Just see the world as it truly is. You have a piece of land; that is yours. If you want more land, you can buy it. If you want to buy more land in the rest of Africa, you can do so. There is no other way. Ladies and gentlemen, I do not want to speak much more on this subject. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only reason why I personally decided to attend this Session is to be able to have the occasion to say \"thank you\" to every one of you for having agreed to what was proposed. I strongly believe that during your time as Members of Parliament, you will work towards the common objective of building the one Kenya that we all want. That is wonderful!"
