    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that the Kuria clan is the largest in Tanzania. However, when I talked to the President of Tanzania one time, he told me that they are the most troublesome. I think we can take our country very far. In fact, that is why I love the issue of integration in East Africa. If East Africa was integrated and we had one federal Government, probably we would not even think of tribes. We would be very minute inside there and all this hot air about tribalism will flee. I must also criticize this speech for one sentence only. I have been told that women empowerment is at the highest level in Rwanda. This could be true. There are more women in the Senate and in the National Assembly than all of us put together. But only the other day, one of First Ladies who wanted to run for Presidency in Rwanda was arrested even before she started her campaigns. She was arrested and charged with some offences which are not known to the law. She was detained and she stayed there until the elections were over. In Kenya, we have had hon. Ngilu, the late hon. (Prof.) Wangari Maathai and hon. Martha Karua run before. So, on that score, we are quite ahead because we have given our women the recognition that they deserve."
