"content": "Hon. Members, it is time to act our patriotism and love for this country, so that we illustrate our stoicism to the rest of the world as we have done before, show that strong winds may blow and break our branches, bend our trunks, but our roots in the Kenyan soil remain strong, steady, firm and solidly anchored. We cannot be uprooted. This is the time that we must subordinate our partisan or parochial interests to the national interest and be bold to face the problems afflicting our country and commit ourselves to their resolution in the most diligent, objective and honourable manner. We should be forever mindful that the Kenya that unites us is infinitely greater than our respective partisan loyalties that divide us. At the risk of belabouring the point, I want to proclaim that this is the time that Kenyans must go out of their way to protect each otherâs dignity and emulate the spirit our sportsmen and sportswomen have demonstrated in athletics, rugby and cricket, winning for Kenya accolades and respect the world over. If we were a country of small people with little brains and weak muscles, we would not have made this global and world record breaking achievements."
