    "content": "Groups or telephones. They did not have television sets to follow what was happening but because they were so sure about what their generation had to do, they spanned the length and breadth of this country and got us independence. They were united. Both parties had people from all communities. Something went wrong down the way. Fifty years later, again the young people will unite this country under the leadership of our President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President and former Prime Minister. We want them to work together. I urge my colleagues, because it is a great disservice for us to bring politics into Building Bridges Initiative--- The intention of building bridges was not political. I know it. I have sat down with the former Prime Minister and the President. Theirs is not political. So, people should stop putting political glasses onto this issue of building bridges. We must unite our country if there is nothing else we will do. The second issue is corruption. The President was very clear. The fight against corruption must go on. It must not target any community. He said it is not targeting any community or individual. In fact, the other day, a journalist asked me, do you think the fight against corruption is targeting some people? I said, actually, yes. It is targeting thieves. So, if you are at thief, you run scared but if you are honest in your dealings in public life, please support this fight because you are snatching away the future from our own children. The President should know that, yes, you do not want a vigilante way of dealing with it, mob justice. There is the legal issue – you are innocent until proven guilty, you go to court – but Mr. President you also have intelligence. Someone should not serve in your Government if you know for sure that they are stealing. We know the thieves. Satisfy them and let them – the same way when you appointed them, you asked no one. You did The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
