    "content": "in the continent - there are a number of coups in the continent - the issue around Israel, the Commonwealth, all these issues must have one inclination towards a sober domestic policy that defines how we engage the external world. It has to be that our nation must advance our national interest when we are approaching the world because that is the only way we survive as a country. There are a number of areas that I think this particular law gives us an opportunity as a nation, give the President an opportunity as our leader, give the Executive an opportunity as the Cabinet, and give us as a Parliament opportunity to be brave, courageous, honest to ourselves and interrogate the strength of our policy when it comes to our domestic inclination. If we do not interrogate that and bury our heads in the sand, we will not be stronger tomorrow to face such wars. Lastly, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, His Excellency Baba, is a person who has got zeal and zest to have a country that works. Even in instances where in past regimes, Baba has supported some elements of people in governance, he has never disregarded any opportunity to talk about the ills and excesses that are in Government, and the bad things that are going on in the country. Recently, when we were dealing with the issues of abductions, Baba Raila Amolo Odinga stood firm and fought the abductions. So did his soldiers who fought the issue of abductions. I can assure you that Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga does not need to be told where he is going to go. When he comes after resting, he will give us direction on where he stands and where he goes, and, therefore, speculations must stop---"
