    "content": "a sense of belonging occur. When you look at other actors like the media, they are concerned about the bad issues in our society. The other day when terrorists attacked Paris, because the French value their country, they never display people jumping from the top of the building or somebody being butchered. When something happens here in Kenya, the worst is displayed. When you display the worst about your country, where are we going? We display fear and even tourists fear to come to our country. We portray a situation like the country is on fire. This does not happen in other countries. We also have to look at other actors like religious bodies. They have totally failed to instill a proper culture and the right values. We are a society without a value system. People look at other parameters, but not what brings us together. As we adopt this Sessional Paper, it is high time we reflected as it has been highlighted here and come up with the systems already highlighted here. How do we bring nationhood and come together as a people? What do we stand for? What brings us together? Some of the great leaders in the world may never have got a space in this country because of where they come from and who they are. When they go out, they make good leaders. For example, drivers at the International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) in Rwanda are Kenyans. Even in the famous American universities, there are Kenyans, but they would not get space at home. You will consider their second names to see if they qualify. So, the criterion is never the right one. This is why we need to come up with the nationhood and national values."
