    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also join my colleagues in congratulating His Excellency the President for delivering a wonderful Address to this House. As you listened to different hon. Members contribute to this debate, it must have occurred to you that some of them started by congratulating the Government for a job well done, and then, very conspicuously, tried to cover up their failures with jabs against the Government on corruption and ethnicity. I wish to ask hon. Members to stop being selective. If we want to talk about ethnicity, let us do so openly. I want to challenge Mr. Midiwo. He picked on the Office of the President. He, very selectively, picked on a few names to justify his allegation. For instance, he left out the Commissioner of Police, who is also in the Office of the President. In the Armed Forces, he conveniently forgot the Chief of General Staff. So, he picked out his names very selectively. Kenyans are not stupid. Kenyans can see. I want to challenge the hon. Member to pick another Ministry. For instance, why does he not pick the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing, and start with the Minister and go all the way down? If some of us were thinking like the hon. Member, some people would suffer a great deal. Some of us have been in this House long enough. We have seen, for the first time, such a well balanced Government."
