    "content": "The last point I would like to make is on the question of the role we have here as Parliament and it touches both on the first question of injustices to people like hon. Mak’Onyango. Coming from our history and difficult past, we have seen that justice can never be hidden forever. Then when we are talking about the ICC, there are three clear cases that are going on there. They are private matters. They are not State matters but unfortunately they are important matters to us because two of our key leaders are involved there and we have to be interested as the Members of this Parliament. So, this is what guides my comments to these points that I want to say. Kenya has accomplished something through the elections of March 4th that no other country has accomplished in the last 50 years. We have 311 new Members of Parliament and only 38 Members of Parliament ever sat in here before. We basically had a revolution and a change of leadership; a new chapter and a chance to move this country forward that they did not achieve in Egypt. If you pay attention to the news today, you will see that despite all the trouble and efforts that happened in Egypt, they did not succeed in achieving the revolution that we Kenyans, and I am proud as a Kenyan to say this, achieved in the March 4th elections without fighting and killing each other. So, as I speak to you my honourable Members, I really want you to understand that even when Nelson Mandela came out of prison and South Africa got a new Government, they did not achieve the level of change in leadership that we have been able to accomplish in Kenya and that"
