    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to speak on the Presidential Speech. Like everybody else, I want to take the opportunity to congratulate you and wish you well in that hot seat, in which you will be guiding the Tenth Parliament through a very historical process. I think what you have done so far is commendable and we wish you well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to congratulate the President, Mwai Kibaki, and Prime Minister-designate, Mr. Raila Odinga. This is because after elections, the country went through a really difficult period. It needed men of stature, and who were prepared to put aside their self- interest for the sake of the country and made the famous handshake on the steps of Harambee House. Indeed, when that handshake took place, the temperature in the country came down dramatically. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to emulate those two great leaders to ensure that, that handshake is not just on the steps of Harambee House but it goes as far Trans Nzoia, Kachipora, Kuresoi and all areas where there are problems. If that handshake is going to be meaningful, we need it in those areas such as Uasin Gishu, Naivasha, Nakuru and all the other places."
