"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am talking about Mumias Sugar Company. I addressed a Press conference and asked the former Prime Minister to pay his debts. He threatened to sue me. Until today, he has not done that. That confirms that he owes the debt. If you want him to be the next leader of the Opposition - which I do not think he will - let him pay the poor small-scale farmers. Secondly, let his governor in Nairobi, who a report of this House indicted him when he was the CEO of Mumias, pay the billions that he has stolen. This is only the Government since Independence that has a solution to land issues. It gives out titles. It has a solution to make sure that each and every Kenyan goes home and sleeps under a roof where he and his property are secured. The Kshs3.2 billion allocated for security operations is meant for characters who are known for losing elections in this country. When they lose, they go out looting, destroying and engaging in all acts of violence in the hope of getting a nusu mkate Government. I want to tell Hon. Wandayi and his colleagues, under the watch of Uhuru Kenyatta, General Nkaissery and the security sector, you will not have your way this time as you had it in 2007. You will not. The way of creating violence and ultimately you walk on the dead bodies of Kenyans either to be sworn in as vice-president or as a prime minister... You need to read the article I wrote last night. It is online on my twitter page. It was about their clamour to change the Constitution. If you read my article of around 10 or 15 pages, it will enrich you and your mindset. You do not win elections through chest-thumping. Kenya is composed of 45 million citizens from different regions. Those of us who come from the pastoral community will not subscribe to the ideology of another constituency. We work with partners.
