    "content": "To begin with, there are many things that the President talked about. But due to limitation of time, I will touch only on a few. Kenyans have a funny way of looking at things. Whenever a new idea comes, we are used to opposing it without giving it an opportunity. I remember in 2002 when the third President of this Republic, the late Mwai Kibaki, came into power, he introduced, through his Minister, the late Hon. John Michuki, a transport mode where a mini bus would be carrying 14 passengers. Before then, people were used to minibuses carrying up to 30 passengers. I remember majority of Kenyans opposed it. A speed limit of 80 kilometres per hour was imposed on matatus which used to be driven at over 150 kilometres per hour, but Kenyans also opposed that. Installation of safety belts was also opposed. When the third president stood firm on it, through his Minister, today every Kenyan enjoys it."
