It is true many parts of this country, including Nairobi City County, have been marginalised. As the people whom Kenyans are looking up to today, what hope are we spreading? I cannot say that my farmer does not have because the other person has. We are creating further division.

As Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said, I pray that instead of splitting hairs, let us take cognizance of where we have been as country, but then perpetuate hope and present a future for this country by saying this is what BBI is presenting and this is where we want to go.
