    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was discussing about Article 10, which talks about equity and for us to have cohesion and integration as stated by the President, there has to be some kind of fairness. Whatever you do, people should see some sense of fairness. We have been talking about the Prime Minister and the former Vice-President’s dues, which were not paid and the former President, hon. Kibaki, was paid. They were in a coalition Government. When it comes to people in CORD, they are not paid. What do you expect the people on the other side to think? You want us to be united? When you treat our leaders like trash, we will not be cohesive. You do these small things and you see us working together, but when you mistreat our leaders, do you want them to beg for what is right? Even if you go to any court, it was right for them to be paid because that was a coalition Government. The Jubilee Government has been taking them for a ride and demanding that they should resign from politics for them to be paid what is rightfully theirs. When we say the truth, do not get jittery. We do not want Somalis or any other people living near our borders being discriminated. We do not want anybody to be discriminated when it comes to the issuance of national identity cards. These are Kenyans. The Kenyan Somalis are mistreated by their neighbours as much as by the other Kenyans. So, when you lump them and say that they are Somalis and they cause insecurity in the country, you are doing the wrong thing to them. Kenyan Somalis are as patriotic as any other Kenyan. Whenever you issue identity cards, do not discriminate. Give them because this is their birth place. Where do you want them to go?"
