    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the petitioner because this thing has been hanging around us for a while. This petition is giving us an opportunity to ventilate and understand. During the Bomas process, the same questions were raised but because we were very keen to see the Constitution through, we did not pay attention to some of those things that we thought were small. It is true that it has to do with an Indian goddess. I can say so because I and perhaps two other Members were in the seventieth celebrations of the Indian government since India was born, three weeks ago. That was mentioned as part of the celebrations. They said that within the influence of the Indian culture, Harambee is one of them. So, if it has offended Kenyans I think it is right to investigate and see what to do with it. However, I do remember that during the Bomas constitutional review process, several religious organizations sent petitions which we did not interrogate. I would like to support that we interrogate this issue. It would be no offence to the Indian community. However, if it is an offence to others, because this is a god of one group, I think it will only be in order that we investigate and agree. If we will have to delete, we will do it, so that we do not have one god in one item. Three weeks ago we heard the same statement from the ambassador that this is true, but they believe it has no offence. I think it is right to investigate."
