    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure you must be saddened as I am, considering that, that is coming from an old Member of this House. You must be very saddened! If Mr. ole Ntimama can have this kind of behaviour in the House, we are setting the wrong examples for new hon. Members. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, but that notwithstanding, if this country is driven by Kenyans who do not care about their ethnicity; Kenyans with the interest of this country at heart--- I am happy that everybody is talking about drought and famine. All of us are together, whether we are in the Opposition or the Government. We are all emphasising that no Kenyan should die of hunger. That is very positive. That is a message that rings very well internationally. That is commendable. In the same breath, let me remind Members that, whatever comes out of our mouths is taken as some kind of authority. As hon. Members, we should be careful about what we publish in the media. What is published is first read not by Kenyans, but the international community. What kind of country are we portraying? We want to engage one another very positively in this House. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
