    "content": "Towards this end, I recently appointed a Committee of Eminent Persons to undertake an evaluation of the constitutional review process and to advise on the road-map for the conclusion of the process. The recommendations of the committee will be presented to Parliament for the necessary legislation that will guide the process to its conclusion. Our country Kenya has a lot of potential for realisation of rapid social and economic development. Although we have people of diverse cultures, languages and religions, we have a common bond as Kenyans and this is what makes our country great. Indeed, we should all be proud of being Kenyans. As leaders and citizens, let us use every opportunity to highlight the virtues that have made this country unique and a beautiful home for all of us. In the pursuit of political objectives, some leaders have attempted to exploit ethnic differences thus creating divisions among our people. This situation is most evident when one listens to the utterances of some of our leaders as reported in the media. Let the people judge leadership on the basis of positive direction and development that a leader is bringing to the people but not empty propaganda aimed at creating hatred and division amongst the people."
