    "content": "the security operators of this Republic? We do not hear of such cases in places like Rwanda where, in fact, they would be having more problems than us. This Speech ought to be sent to all leaders in this Republic so that we know where they are coming from. We should know how we can help the Republic of Kenya and its citizens overcome the challenges we are facing as a country and one of them is security. If we do not deal with the issue of security, we will retrench many Kenyans, close our hotels and it will take us a long time to recover. The hotels in Zanzibar and Tanzania are more expensive than those in Kenya. However, tourists have been flying to Addis Ababa, Uganda and Zanzibar. They are not bothering to go to Mombasa and yet we are considered to have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This is a lesson we must learn and one which must be adopted quickly. Although the Speech was short and had very precise paragraphs, I hope the leaders of this Republic will read it and forward it to the national Government so that in its attempt to lead and to offer services, this Republic can learn from the Rwanda example. I wish we could adopt just one of the examples so that apart from achieving economic advantage, we also achieve national cohesion. Once we have a cohesive nation as we have in Rwanda, the rest of the issues will fall in place. As I said, we will do benchmarking in Rwanda for a long time to come. Our priorities are upside down. The minute we put this country together, the other countries will come to benchmark from us. We will have overcome one of our biggest weaknesses that we inherited from the British when they left in 1963 which is called “divide and rule”."
