    "content": "I want to really dig into our history, so that we can know where we are coming from as a nation and where we are going. We have heard of cases of detention without trial. I can state before this House that the person who inspired me into politics greatly was one Kenneth Njindo Matiba. I knew Matiba when I was in Standard Seven in 1989 when he and hon. Charles Rubia fought for multipartism. That was up to 1990. I remember they were detained in 1990. As young boys, we would stand in our debating clubs and I would gladly call myself hon. Matiba because of the courage with which that gallant son of this country said we needed multipartism in the country. However, we know what happened to him. We have also known the suffering that he, his family and his friends have gone through. The same case applies to hon. Rubia and, of course, other people who fought for multipartism. We want to know what happened and what made the country to go to the level of not upholding with favour the citizens of this country who were fighting for good governance and the good of the country to the extent that we put them in adverse situations."
