"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the Motion moved by the Leader of Government Business. We, indeed, truly appreciate and support the sentiments contained in the Presidential Speech. I would like to request hon. Members of this House that as they discuss this particular Motion, they also take into account the remarks that were made by the President when he addressed the joint parliamentary group meeting of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the Party of National Unity (PNU) on the same day of 6th August, 2008, in the morning. The two statements will really help us in understanding where he was coming from and where he wants us to go. It is important to acknowledge that there is a new spirit, which must be nurtured. Kenya is going through an extremely difficult situation at this point in time. We, therefore, need to have serious regard to occasion. When I say \"serious regard to occasion\" I mean that we need to know where we are. If we know where we are, we shall be very careful in the sentiments of the pronouncements that we make. This is absolutely essential because although it is clear that we now have resemblance of the tranquillity that is beginning to come back, a reversal can easily be ignited or triggered, depending on what we say, how we say it and when we say it. Therefore, I would like to plead that Kenyans in this kind of situation take into account certain things. If you are not competent enough to comment on a particular issue, it is important that you allow the competent individuals to give some guidance and advice on it."
