    "content": "taken, so that this country can go back on track. The national values that bring us together are peace, equality, love, democracy and patriotism, among others. When you look around the country today, are we at peace with ourselves? When you listen to statements made by politicians in rallies, you hear one making a very injurious statement and the following day, another one is replying with the same injurious statement. We are leading this country in the wrong direction. We expect our children, who watch and listen to those statements on television, to uphold those values. How do we expect them to uphold those values while they see and hear us making reckless statements? We have heard people telling others to cut others into pieces. We have also heard others telling others to allow people to die, so that some other people can become presidents. There is something wrong which needs to be looked into. We are not at peace with ourselves either as politicians, leaders or Kenyans. In terms of equality, the way our resources are shared is not good. For example, we have been arguing with Members from pastoral communities to be allowed to access the Equalisation Fund. We need that money so that we can be equal to the rest of the country. We come from areas where nothing has been going on. Sometimes, we wonder when no one wants to take interest in helping those communities. We must walk the talk. We want everybody in this country to be equal, but we must walk the talk. Another issue that is supposed to bring us together is democracy. This country is a democratic State founded on true democracy."
