"content": "I can quote very many other examples. So, let us rise above our tribes and be Kenyans. Let us not look at everything through an ethnic mirror! That makes the work of Government much more difficult in dealing with issues of impunity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in other countries, people take political responsibilities. Mr. Strauss-Kahn, the Head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), was just accused of molesting a hotel worker. He had not been tried and the law says that you are innocent until you are proven guilty. However, in order to save the integrity of the institution that he headed, he decided to voluntarily resign. That is what we call taking political responsibility. If Mr. Strauss-Kahn was a Kenyan, he would have said: âI am being framed. People are after my blood. People are targeting my tribe.â Time has come for the people of this country to take political responsibility. How else can you explain the disappearance of Kshs4.2 billion that is under your charge? This is money which is meant for the education of children. How can you say that you cannot take responsibility? How can you be innocent? Why do we have people in positions if Kshs4.2 billion under your charge can disappear and then you say that you are innocent, and that it is âonly the thieves who are responsibleâ? I think we should do better than that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
