    "content": "that we need to have the face of Kenya on the list, we mean well, because we have a duty, as national leaders, to ensure that whatever little money is going to come out of the MAU MAU claim is used to compensate deserving Kenyans – those Kenyans who died fighting for the freedom of this country. As I said, I am so disappointed that there are billboards all over Nairobi and other parts of Kenya which declare that Kenya is a country of Tusker. Those of us who profess Christianity are getting disturbed. It is so annoying that one can have the audacity to say that this is a country of Tusker. What message, or values, are we passing on to our children when a billboard placed on top of a Government building says that this is a country of Tusker? We are the lawmakers. We need to do something about it. We need to reprimand those who are responsible for that kind of advertisement, because it is misleading our children. As leaders of the national Government, we have a duty to ensure that, that kind of value is not passed down to our children without being challenged. I am a very strong Christian and an elder of my church. That kind of advertisement affects my feelings. It is not in order. With those remarks, I beg to second the Motion."
