    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to join the rest of my colleagues in contributing to this very important debate. In a country like South Africa, this Speech would have amounted to the nation's statement by the President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I begin, first of all, by thanking my friend, Mr. Arungah, for his good wishes. But, in reality, I think we should be able to subsequently move from the culture of street demonstrations. The reason why our people have chosen to go to the streets has a lot to do with excesses committed by this Government. Even as I speak now, I am ashamed of the fact that in the year 2002, I went everywhere in the country campaigning for His Excellency the President and the NARC. Today, Kenyans are wondering which Government did they actually elect. Last weekend I had occasion to actually say it is official, on the authority of our good friend, Uncle Moody Awori, who is actually sitting here and for whom I have a lot of respect--- He also knows that there is confusion in this country with regard to which is the ruling party. If, indeed, there is a ruling party, how can the Leader of Government Business stand up and say that he supports another party that is not already in Government? These are some of the issues that have brought what the swahili people would call, kukereka kwa nafsi za wananchi wa Kenya."
