    "content": "Even if there is the kind of provocation that we can see in certain quarters, we will still observe the rule of law while at the same time exercising restraint from being seen to be or even being vindictive. It is not the intention of this Government to be vindictive. I think it is equally important that provocation be put aside so that we can move ahead as a country. We should not destroy anybody's property. We should not engage in handling illegal arms. This is something that will be taken up seriously by the law enforcement authorities. If we want to turn this economy around and get investors here, we must move on. Let us move away from the temptation to imagine that we can have elements where we want to provoke a situation where the Government is seen either to be ineffective or vindictive. That is not the agenda. We want to focus on uniting the country, bringing people together, and making sure that we can turn the economy around so that all these pressures that we are facing in terms of the cost of living, difficulties, and challenges can be put behind us. We all want to see this country grow and jobs created. Our programme in the Kenya Kwanza mission is very clear — we want to deal with the housing programme, create jobs, bring in foreign direct investment, and grow local investment. We can only do that if we have sound policies and at this point more of them will come up when the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Economic Planning will be making his remarks in a few weeks’ time."
