    "content": "I want to give you some advice. Be aware of advice from some people, including Mutahi Ngunyi. Mutahi Ngunyi today has told people on his Twitter handle that the Mandera Massacres I and II are staged for purposes of getting a successful impeachment of the President. He tweeted further to say that if you want to know the beneficiary, read the Constitution. Mutahi Ngunyi should stop being a clever man. If he is attacking the President because in the absence of the President, the Deputy President will be the beneficiary, let him say it in black and white that Ruto is the one who has caused the massacre. Shame on him! Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, those of us who fought former President Moi’s regime, my brother Haji was a Minister, he told us; you are saying Moi must go, but one day you will say, Moi must come. When Moi was the President of Kenya, he dismantled tribalism in the forces. The Commissioner of Police was a Luo. The Chief of Intelligence was a Kikuyu and the Chief of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) was a Kalenjin. The Chief of Military was a Somali and the Director of the National Youth Service was a Pokot. That was Moi’s time. Today, the just departed head of Police, the Inspector General was the only Kenyan in the security structure who was not coming from one community. The Head of the NIS comes from the community of the Commander in Chief. The Head of the KDF comes from the community of the Commander in Chief of the KDF. The Head of the CID comes from the community of the Commander in Chief and even the Head of National Youth Service which is now a military force is from the same community of the President. The President must dismantle tribalism if he wants officers working under those senior officers not to be demoralized. When I was a young dashing doctor, I used to dream that I would one day grow to become the Director of Medical Services. However, right now, an officer will work, but knows that however hard he works; he will never be the head of the military because he must come from a particular community. We are the representatives of the people. When we say some of these things outside this House, we are accused and taken before courts of law in this country. We have cases of hate speech pending."
