"content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion and say that it is a Motion whose time has come. We should have passed it like yesterday. I really want to thank Dr. Bonny Khalwale for bringing this Motion. We urge Mr. Kigen and Mr. Kiuna, as has been mentioned by an hon. Member earlier; we really need to make sure we approach this matter in a very sober way. We realize that elections are around the corner and we must do whatever it takes to protect peace and tranquillity in this country. Finally, I really want to urge Members of Parliament that we all must live with the times. Times have changed and we cannot make inflammatory statements in public that can ignite unnecessary violence in this country. As we approach the elections – and I want to speak this as a Member of a very important party that believes in peace in this country – there is no time for inflammatory statements. TNA is a party that believes in peace and nobody should generalize that the statement by a certain Member is a statement by all the Members of that party, or that a statement by a particular member of one community is for the whole community. Let everybody carry his or her own cross."
