"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, even if I was running a family enterprise, I would be ashamed if I am surrounded by 80 per cent of my village. Ethnicity is killing our country. Trying to wash it under the rags will not help. I have spoken against ethnicity from the first time I made my maiden speech in this House. I will continue to speak against it because I am a beneficiary of the diversity of Kenya. Ethnicity is taking us nowhere. What sort of a country is this where even when we are faced with the shame of our brothers going to be tried in the International Criminal Court (ICC)--- This is the most shameful thing. Instead of looking at how we can collectively address the issue, you hear people say: We will raise funds for our son from this region. Is this what we want for our country honestly? Where are we going? This thing has gone on for far too long. The question must be asked. How much has negative ethnicity helped Kenya? If you ask me, it is âno.â I have seen people from Baringo Central who had to feed on wild berries. Did Baringo Central not give us a President for 24 years?"
