    "content": "petroleum so that we can employ our youth who are currently being misused by other actors in either recruitment in Al Shabaab or ISIS. It is a sad affair that even our university students are being recruited to terrorism. It is, therefore, important to give them hope that they will be able to get jobs. The youth are now being recruited by terrible and negative political actors. It is sad to see our brothers in the CORD coalition engaging young people who suffer from joblessness in sums like Kibera and Mathare. They hire them for small amounts of money and bring them to town to create chaos in the name of demonstrations. We must learn as politicians to appreciate that this nation must live as one country. Even as we prepare for these resources and deal with matters of creating resources in our country, we must change the communication, language and narrative that we politicians use in this country. We should not continue lying to people. Those of us who sit in this House know how we laugh and work together; whether it is me with the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale or Sen. Hassan. We are brothers and we help each other when we are in need and work as a team. Why then do we lie to Kenyans that they can fight on our behalf? I have said severally that no blood of any Kenyan should be shed for the sake of a politician. This nation must grow up and move from the mentality that because of joblessness, people can be hired to be goons for a political cause. I beg to support."
