    "content": "leaders, we need to talk about African renaissance, African independence and African dignity. There is nothing that is so touching and so strong as these words where we are saying that we need to remember that we need to be independent. There was this scramble for Africa that took place those days and we have now acquired our Independence. But, today, we are having a new scramble for Africa; an economic scramble where some developed nations come around and they want to plot to stay around. In the process, we may end up having strangers even running small, tiny businesses in our country; businesses that belong to the people of Kenya. Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, we also need to have dignity and to walk tall. I did not put an application to God to be made a black man, a brown man or a red man. We need, as Africans – as, indeed, he mentioned here – to have that dignity and to walk tall. He also reminded the world that we are here, as a continent and we need to get this confidence in ourselves so that we can move ahead and stand tall. So, Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, in support of what my colleagues mentioned, it was great to have such an Address from the President of the Senate of Rwanda. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
