    "content": " Hon. Speaker, we are just giving out the tactics of how to spice up marriages. We are not doing anything bad. We are giving suggestions on how marriages can be better. There are places where even men kneel, but they cannot say it on camera. Members must take the State of the Nation Address by the President very seriously. Members should understand that it is a constitutional requirement. It is not just any other event. The President comes to Parliament and addresses the nation on issues that have been stipulated in the Constitution such national security, international obligations and the economy. At the end of his Address, he will hand over a set of documents to the Speaker. That tells you how important the Address is. That is why the National Assembly has allocated four sittings to discuss the State of the Nation Address by the President. It is a very serious constitutional obligation. It is not like any other issue that the President comes here to talk to us about. It is one of the constitutional ways that this House holds the President accountable. Every year, he comes here to tell us what he has achieved in the last year in those four areas. It is my wish that Members take that Address very seriously and attend in their numbers, so that we can listen to the President. After that, we can use the four sittings that follow the Address to dissect it and tell Kenyans what our thoughts are on the issues that the President will have addressed in the House. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
