    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the President’s Address and inform my colleagues, who thought this Address was only on the ICC, that it is an elaborate Address in its content and has many policy issues that are very important to this country. I also want to inform hon. Wandayi that there are so many national issues in this Address; he said that he does not see anything national in the President’s Address. When we talk about the sovereignty of this county, that is a national issue. The issues of terrorism and economic growth and its milestones are all national. The Report of the UN General Assembly and the Security Council attached to our climate change and Ebola are all international, regional and national issues. There were issues of regional trade and stability, service delivery to this country, national projects including roads, railways, schools and issues of Internally Displaced People resettlement, post-election violence, issues of transformation and reconciliation are all national and so are issues of the Constitution and governance. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was so much humbled by the sense of humility that our President displayed and his down-to-earth attitude. He displayed a high regard and respect for the sovereignty of this country and its people. I do not regret having elected him my President. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with regard to the body of the Address, we appreciate Kenyans’ efforts in fighting terrorism in the region. Although to some extent we have been affected in terms of our economy and tourism; we have lost lives, but it was a noble cause.
