"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to really congratulate the Kenyan people, starting with the leadership of this country. Before I came to this House, I went to Uhuru Park in the early afternoon and the queues of people lining up even now to donate blood were amazing. You will find a group of artists trying to entertain these donors and another person comes with water to give the people singing to the donors who are giving blood, and the chain continues. If there is something that the terrorists have failed in, it is dividing this country. It is not about being Muslim or Christian. They have failed in dividing this country into tribal lines and that has been demonstrated in this House. It is not about being a Somali or Kikuyu. We have had known terrorists carrying the name Onyango and Gitonga. It is not anything to do with tribe. One of the first persons at the scene was the son of the Senator for Garissa, Sen. Haji. He was one of the people who rescued the first victims of that blast and he is a Somali. Somali or Islam does not equal terrorism. I want us to really get that out to the country. Since the terrorists have failed, it cannot take the politicians to take Kenyans back there. We cannot be the ones to take the county back there. That feeling that makes me proud to be a Kenyan, as we celebrate this Jubilee year must be nurtured by everyone in this House, other leadership position and even as Kenyans on the streets."
