    "content": "Going back to the State of the Nation Address, I was very impressed that the President outlined the number of Kenyans that he called. A President called a farmer in Trans Nzoia and a boda boda rider in Mombasa. This is a clear demonstration that the President of this country cares about Kenyans and he minds collecting their views. Most importantly, looking at how they would want things done. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whoever cared to listen to the speech of the President is aware that he has a plan for this country. He outlined the Eurobond loan of US$200 million that was taken. Everybody thought that Kenya will not be able to pay. He outlined that the country is going to honour that before time. The President, in his capacity, as the Executive Head of this country is committed to honour the international obligations and see that the economy of Kenya is in the path of recovery. Most importantly, he is prepared to take everybody on board towards this path of recovery. What other people will not want to hear. There is a saying from my community that states when somebody does not like you, even when you are in a swimming pool, he will tell you are blowing a lot of dust. We know the commitment of the President from maintain this economy, to guide farmers towards the path of recovery and to ensure that the dignity of Kenyans is restored. Not by making them beggars, but by ensuring that they join hands into the economic path to recovery. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is an open secret that we can recover. We will recover because the President has the utmost political goodwill to ensure that this county is in the path of recovery. As I sit down, I would urge my colleagues to look at it openly. It does not matter. The years 2027 and 2032 are coming and you will challenge us on what we have been able to perform. My fellow Senators, let us close ranks and agree that it is our obligation to move this country forward. Sen. Oketch Gicheru, Senator for Migori County, he is my younger brother. It is my obligation to guide him into the right path. If I stepped on the wrong toes, it is not because I do not like him, but because I like him so much. That is why I will repeatedly tell him---"
