My first comment will be on the Petition on the National Prayer Breakfast. It is a good Petition, but asking for a public holiday is missing the point. We need to work hard and be productive as a country. Public holidays normally interfere with the working of a nation. However, let us look at it in terms of how we can make it even much better. During the last prayer breakfast, I saw something which was not good for many people. It became a handshake prayer breakfast, because others were excluded. When you see the Member for Nyeri Town, who has never been to church, leading a prayer there; then it leaves a lot to be desired. That should not happen."}
