    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the programme will mobilize resources locally and internationally to be used in repairing and reconstructing infrastructure that was badly damaged during the violence. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the recent crisis has caused me to reflect deeply on the half a century of my active participation in the management of our public affairs. During this time, I have come to appreciate and respect the resilience of our people and our country. I have seen Kenya go through some very critical moments. Each time, our people have used the crisis as a crucial turning point from which they have come out more focused and determined to stay on course, so as to realize our collective vision of a free, just and prosperous nation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the events of the last two months have offered us an opportunity to look inwards, in order to fully comprehend the weaknesses and strengths, as well as the strengths and opportunities that we have as a nation. Indeed, Kenyans will always prefer peace over conflict, prosperity over desolation, unity over discord and justice over injustice. That is why on 28th February, 2008, I and hon. Raila Odinga accepted and signed the National Accord because our people had spoken clearly that they wanted one Kenya - a Kenya in which all lived in peace, justice and harmony."
