"content": "those are hills not mountains and that he has no room there. That is not the country we want to build. When we are fighting to give education to our children, we are also fighting for equal opportunities. The race belongs to the strong, but everybody must be given a fair start to compete. A big man of Sen. Karaba’s stature and a small man of Dr. Khalwale’s stature cannot be taken into a boxing ring and they you ask them to have a fair fight. It cannot be a fight. Also, one of the competitors’ hands cannot be tied at his or her back, and the other one asked to hit his or her opponent wherever he wants. It would be unfair. If this country has to move forward with all the problems we are seeing, we must exorcise the nightmare of ethnic exclusivity. I feel sorry for a very good man we voted three times to be a Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. ole Kaparo, because he has become an unlucky tool for Jubilee Government. He is being sent like a German Shepherd to chase around CORD people for everything they say. Free speech is a cornerstone of democracy. That is why the law allows you to go to court to defend your name, when you are maligned. The law of libel, slander and defamation takes care of reckless tongues - those of the likes of Hon. Moses Kuria. Free speech is not a crime. I have a lot of salutation for former President, Mzee Moi. Kenneth Matiba, in the heat of multi-partism, stood up and said Moi was suffering from HIV/AIDS. That was false and defamatory. However, former President Moi just ignored him. He did not send the police to arrest him. Today, when one says that money has been stolen from NYS or the President and his Deputy have shared the country between their communities, the police are at your doorstep. Everybody can see these things. I invite them to read the Bible. Jesus said, even the blind can see and the lame can walk. How come those with eyes do not see? How come those with ears do not hear? How come those with mouths do not talk."
