    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Mr. Bernard Wachira Waihere and Ms. Jacqueline Namuye Mutere for presenting this Petition at this important time in our country. As Sen. Wetangula has eloquently taken us through history, we have become a country that lives in denial and loves sweeping things under the carpet. The cycle of ethnic divisions and violence that has been mainly ethnic based started many years ago. The 2007 process was a painful one. I am sure that Sen. Wetangula will tell you that at that time when they were in that Amani Room - in as much as I was a young boy I was their “mtu wa mkono” - and that is when I got to ―eleven‖. Sen. Wetangula knows what I am talking about. Mr. Speaker, Sir, but even then, the young people of this country felt quite alienated through all of those processes. If you go through the TJRC Report, it goes to the core of fundamental issues; land, the historical injustices in Wagalla, communities that have been disenfranchised by successive regimes through development or non- development or lack of equality of opportunities. You can never cohesion where people in this country do not feel that they have equality of opportunities. Unless a child born in Nyamira feels and the parents knows that their child has the exact same shot at life as a child born in Kisumu or Nyeri, we can never have national cohesion."
