    "content": "itself. I am, in fact, surprised that the media is not telling Kenyans that the name of the tribunal they are complaining about and its structure was actually coined by them. Hon. Speaker, for a long time, leaders in Kenya have been treated as if they have no rights. I do not subscribe to that view. The freedoms that are espoused in our Constitution must extend to everybody. Everyone must be treated equally, whether one is in the media or in this House. More importantly, everybody must be accountable for their actions. A lot of times, Kenyan leaders have been falsely accused but it is like when they are falsely accused, they have no right to even complain. The unwritten law in our country seems to be that they have no right to be heard. It is like every time they are accused, they are automatically guilty as charged. Forty years ago, I had an encounter with my mother, which is probably the reason why I am here today. We had an argument and she observed that I was very good looking but she said that I was ugly, and that if I hoped to make it in life and get a good woman to marry, I needed to go to school."
