    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to begin by thanking this august House for making it possible for the Prime Minister to interact with hon. Members here on a weekly basis; answering hon. Members’ Questions and also making statements about the policies of Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today is a historic day when we are launching the Prime Minister’s Question Time. This moment has come at a very critical period in our country’s history. I know that there are many Kenyans watching right now and who are worried about the economy more than anything else. As we all sit here, there are Kenyans whose confidence in this nation is shaken to the core because our politics, lately, have become fairly turbulent and unpredictable. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no better place for us to begin restoring the faith of our people than in this House. Recent experience has shown that when this House pulls together and boldly confronts the challenges facing our country and takes responsibility, the country rallies together. This was the case last year when this House came together and passed several Bills. That spirit of unity enabled us to unite the country, last time, following the turmoil in the post election period. That is the spirit that I want to appeal to, as we begin this great experiment where the Prime Minister will be taking questions on behalf of the Government."
