    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise, first of all, to send my condolences to Lamu and to all the women who have lost their young sons. It is time we, as leaders, we took stock of what we have done to this country in the last 50 years. When we talk about security, first of all, we must understand where we are coming from since 2005 and where the country was after 2007. In fact, we are still in the process of healing. Today, I wish Waki’s envelope had 20 Kenyans who would be facing cases in The Hague. That is the time Kenyans will realize that we have done wrong to this country as political leaders. When we fought in 2007 and 2008, it was the political leadership that took the country towards that path. Today, we have not even come out of The Hague, but we want to go there again. We talk recklessly as if we are not living in the same country. We also forget that when you politicize everything, including your own security, what happens to the “grass” or wananchi who voted for us? We are lucky because we have bodyguards. Some of us have more than ten bodyguards, others have one, two and while majority of Kenyans have none."
