    "content": "Finally, as a believer in this country, I am a lover of this country and I am proud to be a lover of this country, I want to urge my fellow parliamentarians that we should move on in our growth in democracy. Let elections not be and must not be the reason why Kenyans fight. Let elections not be and must not be a reason for Kenyans to be reminded which tribes they come from. Elections should not be and must not be a reason for Kenyans to slaughter each other. I urge the Minister that we should have very tough laws for electoral malpractices, particularly laws against raw animalistic violence that we witness every five years. It is a shame to our country and it is a shame to us, Kenyans, and we must get rid of this practice. Let us have the magnanimity; those of us who lose in elections, to accept the loss. For those of us who win, let us have the humility to sympathize with those who lose. Let it not be the adversary that it has always been. I want to end by stating that we, as Kenyans, must say with one voice that not a single drop of blood of any Kenyan should be shed on account of the pursuit of the ambition of an individual."
