"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I meant is that people thinking that the current Government is a coalition between the Kalenjins and the Kikuyus, this is further from the truth. The truth of the matter is that those who are in power today are pretending and posturing as if they are a Government of these two communities. If you go out there in the streets today, you will find people from those two communities making the same noises that other communities are making about living standards and security. If you go to Mpeketoni, you will find very few Samburus making noise about security. However, you will find some people from Central Province who are not very happy with the issues of security. So, what am I trying to say? If we really want to push Kenya forward and to have parties that are truly national, then it begins with the Government of the day. They should give a good example to political parties because governments have resources and might. If they give a good example, the rest of the country can follow suit. Nyerere stated that in order to bring an ideology and a culture in Tanzania where everything that is done in the name of the Republic concerns and is for the benefit of all the people of Tanzania. In Kenya, for example, we will have to spend a little time and, probably, through the efforts that we are making, to make sure that Kenya is truly Kenyan."
