    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no amount of agitation that will stop me from saying what I want to say. Please, keep your peace. I was saying that, as leaders in this House, our first priority is to unite our country. We should not divide it along ethnic lines. When we divide this country along ethnic lines, we will all be in trouble. It does not matter how much you feel against another tribe. The truth is: There is nothing you can do about it! They are here and this is their home. It does not matter how bad you feel. Kenyans will remain Kenyans. I will cherish the day you will realise that. Indeed, those of us who belong to the younger generation get ashamed when people preach tribalism. There is no room for tribalism in some of us and the future leadership of this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Government appointments are not done on tribal lines. There is evidence right now that we have a very capable Commissioner of Police. That is a fact! All of us have seen what he has done. It does not matter where he comes from. He is capable! It is not just the Commissioner of Police! We have several other people in leadership positions who are doing very well!"
