    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, before I substantially comment on the Presidential Speech, allow me to make the following statement from the outset. First, the Tenth Parliament, which I had the privilege of serving, was credited with the enactment of the highest number of legislation in the history of Kenya. I hope the Eleventh Parliament will surpass that record in the spirit of bi- partisan and consultation with all the Members regardless of our political divide. Secondly, the President’s Speech, for the first time in the history of this country, was anchored in the Jubilee manifesto. This is a remarkable departure and there is a link between party policies and Government programmes. What the President read is basically the agenda and the manifesto of the Jubilee Coalition that he led. History will bear me out that governments, political parties and leaders used to give manifestos, but when they formed governments, they forgot the manifestos. This is the first time we are seeing that party policies and Government programmes are linked together in order to bring service to our people and to build stronger political parties."
