    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I want to indicate my total and undivided support for this Motion as far as it is possible to perpetuate it the way it is drawn. It talks about being unfairly dismissed and somebody may have to prove the fairness or otherwise of the dismissal, pursuant to other things that have happened. On this Motion, I cannot afford not to be personal in my contribution. We have all grown up in this country and gone to universities here. Many of us here went to the University of Nairobi. We were there in the 1980s when there was the clamour for the second liberation of this nation. Some of us saw what happened all the way from the days of Saba Saba and beyond, leading to what we have today, a multiparty democracy. Some of us, as young lawyers, saw technically and fully what happened because we took interest in it; followed it and even took part in the things that happened. The reason I say I cannot afford not to be personal is because, many times, I have talked about the heroes of this nation, all the way from the 1920s when we were looking for the Independence of this country from the colonialists all through history to the time that we clamoured for Independence with the Mau Mau. You will recall that no so long ago, the Mau Mau who were rebellions, but who in truth, were freedom fighters came out, sued the British and have been paid some compensation. The biggest thing that happened in the case between the Mau Mau and the British is not so much the money that they got The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
