    "content": "journalist and he answered it very objectively the way he thought. I thank our President also for responding to the question the way he did. I must thank the President for the powerful speech he gave at the Kasarani Indoor Arena. The way that speech was organized and the way the President actually connected with the people who were there, he, indeed, touched every part of this country. Kenyans, for those few days, I must say, were in a learning mode. We learnt a lot from the President. It is only fair that we internalize that message and accept that there are things to be done. He did not lecture us, but he talked to us as a friend. In fact, he talked to us more as a Kenyan than many Kenyans. He knew more about our policy. With regard to the issue of minority groups, I must tell Kenyans that we are actually not working to stop terrorism. Instead, we are breeding terrorism. We are actually marginalizing people further. Today, as I speak, there is a guy from my village who has been in custody for the last 41 days. He is Rizak Mahadh. Many people are disappearing. We must know how to fight terrorism by working with the people. You must be able to win the hearts of many people. I thank the President of the USA. I think Kenyans did very well given the way we conducted ourselves. We showed that we are also a nation just as the USA. I thank the first African, Kenyan and Black American President of the USA, Obama. We must emulate him. As leaders, we must emulate him and be above tribalism. We have no tribe. Our tribe is called Kenya. Let us work as Kenyans to change this country. Let us take the lesson that was given to us by Obama. I think Kenyans were left happy. Let that happiness go on and not ever end. I thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
