    "content": "It is fine. He can say “shame” but that is the truth. It is my time to speak. I appreciate when the President offers a public apology. I take it as a Kenyan, as what a good President, whom I know he is, should do but when Government authorities do to the people of Laikipia what they are doing, it makes no sense to me because it will mean that the same President, or some other President of this country, will come back and apologise. I do not want our presidents to be apologetic presidents because they have work to do. Presidents should not be people to apologise all the time; they have work to do. I want to tell my President today that instead of us having another time to apologise, let him help us stop crimes against humanity in Laikipia. On the state of our economy, the Speech truly reflects what is in our country today. Our economy is robust and our GDP growth of about 6 per cent is one of the best in the world. With a GDP volume of about US$53 billion, it is very good for a Sub- Saharan country, but it still falls far low compared to the Asian Tigers that we were at the same level with in the 1960s. Today, Singapore has a GDP of about US$300 billion. We are way below, but I want to applaud the actions of many leaders and our people, because we are moving forward. The status of our middle class is truly reflected in this Speech. It is improving and that is what we want to see. Our monetary policy is sound because our inflation is at a low level. It is at single digit and it seems to be falling. Our interest rates regime reflects a very good monetary policy for our country, because it is falling and a falling interest rate is one very important thing that tends to affect every member of our society, including the Wanjiku; it gives us an opportunity to borrow, invest and grow our country.
