    "content": "Government. In this regard, all anti-corruption agencies should fast-track and conclude pending corruption cases. All inter-corruption agencies have also been directed to enhance preventive measures. Secondly, we will enhance the investigative and prosecution capacity of the respective agencies. Thirdly, the Judiciary should also speed up the court process because speedy conclusion of corruption-related cases is a key pillar in this fight. The Government will provide adequate resources to improve the capacity of these institutions to speed up the processes. The public service has been directed to apply the law and regulations firmly and impartially. The Government is also consulting with the Judiciary on ways of placing a time-frame on the period within which a corruption- related case should be concluded. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now turn to the matter of national cohesion. Hon. Members will be aware that nearly two years after signing the National Accord, we have made substantial progress in managing our diversity as a country. We now have a National Cohesion and Integration Commission and a new law that prescribes tough penalties for those promoting hate, hate speeches and ethnic tendencies. I call on Members to make national cohesion a main agenda for this Fourth Session and the remaining two sessions of the Tenth Parliament. I encourage all Members of this august House to lead by example. All Kenyans are looking upon us to champion an uplifting agenda. They are looking upon us to leading them as a united and patriotic people of this country. Kenyans should trust the leadership of the country and abandon the temptation to look externally for solutions that can easily be found locally."
