    "content": "I notice that one very critical aspect was left out, namely, the matter dealing with post-election violence. The President should not squander that chance and he should, on the same breath, order that we have special courts dealing with our affairs. We cannot wait to see what the international community is doing. We cannot wait here and listen to Ocampo or indeed, the ICC, whereas we have an opportunity within ourselves and within the powers of this House to do as required and as ably said in this landmark Speed, to have special courts. I would persuade this House to have the Other Superior Courts Bills as the first Bill and not tribunals. I am saying this because we are not a failed State. According to Julius Nyerere, the late President of Tanzania:- “The worst form of colonization is that of the mind”. When we still think of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) because they are white, when we still think of Scotland Yard because they are white, when we still think of the ICC because they are led by white men, that is the worst form of colonization. It is much better to have the other one in which you are forced to labour rather than having leaders here who even at their position, do not believe in themselves. In actual fact, recently, the Prime Minister fell short of saying that we should have a white man as a Prime Minister because when you are white, you are supreme, good and whatever you are doing is very humble. We should and shall endeavour to be Africans, as envisaged in the Devonshire White Paper of 1923, in which the white men said clearly that Kenya is an African country."
