    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what the hon. Member is talking about, although he is saying that it is about a document that was tabled here. I do not know what he means. However, I am saying that generally, some of those organizations - I gave the example of Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and I was making a very fundamental point here. If their grievances are not addressed on time, they can mutate into some dangerous movements. Then some political interests can move in and hijack some of those movements and radicalize them. I was saying that the MRC had very noble origins and intentions. However, because they are not addressed, other movements with ulterior motives will try to capitalize on those grievances. We, as a nation and country, have the responsibility - if we want to create stability in this country - to address some of these issues. We have very major issues in Vision 2030. That is the reason why we cannot afford to have a situation where there is political stalemate and so much instability and dissatisfaction among our youth. This, we are determined to end. We are saying that we should create, as politicians, an enabling environment, free of ethnic discrimination. We should embrace democracy. If we are competing, let us compete with tools that are modern. Let us compete along ideological lines. Let us agree along ideological lines and say: “I do not agree with you. You are too leftist or too rightist, but not because you come from this tribe or that tribe. Let us unite as tribe A, B and C, to capture political power.” There is no room for KKKs in modern Kenya."
