• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: That is what we have to reject! That is all we have to say! That, this Kenya was made by God for all the people who live in this Kenya! That is all! And once we know that, and we have known it--- But for some reason, we follow it. After a little while, we give up and pursue something else. view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Then, eventually, we come back - after we have wasted 20 years talking, writing new constitutions, forming committees--- That is terrible! I think it is just terrible! view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Because we could have spent that time--- And there is no point now arguing about it or wishing. Let us spend the time now available in writing the new Constitution. We know how it is. Indeed, we only need to give this work to Mr. Orengo alone! He will write it! view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: He will! I am telling you! He knows what we have all talked about! All this time, whatever we have talked about, he can put it down and you will see that it is agreeable to whatever you like. I am telling you! So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt, myself, that in the next few years---In the next one year, together, we shall write that Constitution! view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: That is the Constitution that we want to guide this country. To guide the country is to acknowledge that all the people belong to this country. That is the truth! They can go and settle anywhere in March 18, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 203 Kenya. Nowadays, in the whole of Africa, you will find that Kenyans are more travelled, more settled and more--- You will find them developing other parts of Africa than any other people from anywhere! It is the truth! view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: It is the truth! I will tell you it is the truth! If you want to get the details, ask me or ask anybody else who knows. view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: We will give you the details of it! It is the truth! Kenyans can leave Kenya and go and settle anywhere else. They will settle very well! It is the truth. I am sure, first and foremost, each one of us, because we are all too educated--- Mr. Speaker, Sir, can you abandon the concept that there is land which is yours and some other land that is for some other people? By doing that, you are going backwards to a backward point which has no meaning whatsoever! Absolutely! We have known that but, somehow, I do not know what ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: I am telling you because they have discussed every chapter in that Constitution. They have discussed it endlessly! Honestly, if we left them alone by themselves, and they did not worry about us, they would write a very good Constitution for Kenya. It would be very suitable. Then, we can now focus our minds on the new Kenya that we want to build! What I know - and that is what makes me sad--- When I look at our children who have been to schools and got educated, they are talking about the new world, which everybody else is talking ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Honestly, that is the main thing. That is what every Kenyan want. Every young man and woman in this country wants us to move in that direction. I am sure, if we follow that way, we shall succeed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, we are amending the Constitution. It is good to do so. I thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know that you will feel happy that we will give you the joy of our passing of this constitutional amendment, which is heading us towards that direction. During the short time you will be our Speaker, whether it ... view

We shall now be headed in the right direction, because nobody will argue with each other, asking: " Wewe ni kabila gani ? Wewe ni mtu wa wapi ?" That is actually crazy when you think about those lines because the young people in this country do not even speak those languages. Young people in this country do not think along those lines. I am very happy that they do not do so. That is where the ... view
