    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I first congratulate His Excellency the President for the Speech that he gave on Thursday, 26th March, 2015. He was very firm in his Speech, which was very wonderful. I am sure he is going to implement all that he promised to Kenyans. It was not a Speech for only Kenyans, but there were diplomats in this House. When he spoke about corruption diplomats who were in the House stood up and clapped for him. He is the only President who has been firm on corruption. All of us are going to support him on the Speech that he made on 26th March, 2015. There are a few things which the President did not comment firmly on. For instance, there is the issue of land grabbers in this country. We have all realised that the drought that we are experiencing this year is not normal. It is just because of land grabbers who have invaded forests and cut down trees in order to acquire land everywhere in this country. The President should be firm on land grabbers. Land grabbing is going to make this country a desert. All of us, especially leaders who live near forests, should talk to their people against land grabbing and deforestation. We should not allow this to be used as a campaign tool. The President touched on many things that impressed Kenyans. Last weekend, we were in Mombasa and people were just talking about the President‟s Speech. They are happy. We should support him as the leaders of this country. The other issue that he did not touch on is the plight of freedom fighters in this country. Indeed, we got the Independence of this country through bloodshed. The 42 tribes of this country fought for Independence."
