    "content": "Let me finish my point, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, but I welcome the comment from our new friend. I was saying that it is important for leaders in this House to start preaching unity to Kenyans. They need to preach to Kenyans to live as one. Kenya is one. It cannot be that because land is in a certain area, people cannot be settled there. These are the kind of things that are actually going to lead to more and more violence; but justice, of course, requires the people of the area to be considered. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if I may just borrow from the speaker who has just contributed, he mentioned that two of the Members of this Select Committee may be people who need to be re-evaluated; these are hon. Kigen and hon. Kiuna. If I had a choice, indeed, I would say that they ought not to be in the Committee. Let the Committee have Members who have nothing to do with this matter, and who will tell us what is happening. The 2008 violence has never been dealt with. In fact, when we talk here in Nairobi we say that we want one Kenya, and that we do not believe in tribalism. When we go back to our villages, we start saying you have to watch so-and-so and such- and-such community. We are going to the elections and let us, for once, start on the main duty that is bestowed upon us, that of uniting this Kenya. Kenya is balkanized along tribal lines. That is the truth. Kenya is organized into tribes. There is tribalism in this country. That is the truth---"
