"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this serious Motion. It reminds me of Shakespeare’s play ‘ Julius Caesar,’ when somebody told Brutus: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” It would have been good contribution if we handled these very serious issues with less emotion and boisterousness, because that does not help. If we are looking for a solution, the method by which we look for that solution is in itself very important. This is a House of debate and records. We should leave emotions to the gladiators rather than the debaters. Having said that, I want to make another point. I have seen a nation – South Sudan - burn by wantonly giving guns to people. When South Sudan had its recent crisis in 2013, some Kenyans were imprisoned there for working for a company whose Chief Executive Officer (CEO) was accused of having committed corruption in the President’s Office. That story was in The Star today. One day, the people who were detained in this security office - not even in a prison or a police cell - were released and given guns to go and fight because they were on the right side of the ethnic equation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I listen to the stories being told and I watch the Television and read the newspapers, I do not want to doubt what Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo is saying. It may be wrong in certain details but as they say in French,"
