"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at history - I know you are a doctor and you must have gone to school and learnt history. If you look at the history of colonization of Africa and the way the colonial masters came to Africa, they came carrying the bible. I am a student of history. They softened our people, brainwashed them and, as the saying goes âThe flag followed the crossâ. After this, they started the scramble for Africa. Subsequently, came the partition of Africa. Lastly, came the total colonialism. We were ruled. Nobody said that they were coming to colonize us. It is the same trend that is happening in Africa. A revolution is going on in the Middle East. The United States wants to get control again of Africa. It is very unfortunate that those who have eyes cannot see, and those who have ears cannot hear. This revolution we see in the Middle East is coming down to Africa, where for me to become the president of Kenya, I must pledge loyalty to, and be a puppet of, a certain foreign country. That is why today when we talk of reforms, we cannot have reforms that are self-driven â reforms that come from us Kenyans. That is why today we are fighting about the International Criminal Court (ICC)."
