    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am the coolest guy in this House. I am very cool and I expect the other side of the House to be cool. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other thing I wanted to say about the President's Speech is that, the President referred to \"Vision 2030.\" If we are going to have a vision in this country, then it must be a vision for all Kenyans. Developing a vision for this country must involve the Government and the Opposition. When I went to the launch of \"Vision 2030\", the people who were on the platform were just one-eighth the face of Kenya. That cannot be a vision for the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am appealing to the Government to rise up to the occasion and if they 122 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 27, 2007 are going to develop a vision for the country, then they should do it for the country. It should represent the face of Kenya. A vision for the country is not a technocratic matter. It is an emotional, an intellectual and a political statement. But if you take it that it is going to be done by the President with a few technocrats coming from one region, then it will never be a vision for this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when they vision for this country, they should please realise that they are visioning for the future of a nation. They are not doing that to fight the politics of today. What is happening is that, we are wasting plenty of time on the other side thinking that we are visioning, when all we are doing is fighting the politics of conjecture. That cannot be for the future of this country."
