    "content": "Obviously, Kenyans are watching us, but they are watching us to make good laws. Kenyans are watching us to ensure that we run this country constitutionally. Kenyans are watching us to ensure that we honour the agreement we have committed ourselves to. We must understand, as Mr. Okemo said, that this Grand Coalition Government was established by an Accord. One of the problems that have bedeviled us in this country is that, from time to time, we make agreements and then we go against them. Tension then builds up in the country and, finally, there is social conflict. When there is a social conflict, we cannot have food or development. We cannot have peace. Therefore, today, we are being called upon to do two things: One, can we run Government on the basis of established laws and on the basis of the agreements that we have arrived at? Mr. Speaker, Sir, when this Government was being formed, the two principals went to Sagana State Lodge and constituted the Cabinet. The Government that exists today must recognize the fact that it was a result of two principals exercising equal power to make it be. Therefore, to all kinds of people who have said things that are intimidatory, let us cease this and make sure that we govern ourselves according to the Constitution, and according to the agreements and rules we committed ourselves to. Thank you."
