    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the petitioner. Without taking much time on the definition, suggest just as other hon. Members have suggested that the word “harambee” means a lot to us Kenyans. Many people have some special feeling towards it. This is the only word that can unite those in the city and those in the rural areas, so it is good to retain it. The meaning in Hindu is irrelevant to us. They can look at it and say this is what it means to them. As others have said, if I speak as a Christian we refer to Jesus Christ as our saviour. The Jewish people refer to him as Emmanuel although they are still waiting for their Emmanuel. For us, he is already born. We refer to him as Jesus Christ. The Muslims refer to him as Nabii Isa. A word might have different meanings to many of us. It is important for us to retain this word because it is meaningful to all of us. It is the only word that unites Kenyans."
