    "content": "Address. I want to thank the President for a wonderful Address that he gave in this House. The President in his Address meant well. During his Address as I looked at him, in his heart he meant what he was delivering in this House. If you looked at his body language, you should have realised that he meant well and wanted to bring to this House the commitment that he had. I felt that the Members of this House should have appreciated him better. He wanted this House to support him in what he has been trying to get. He has tried his best to fight corruption, which is like cancer in this country. He thought it wise to bring to this House proposals and the commitment that he had, so that we can support him and get to reduce corruption in the country. I said earlier on that in order to reduce corruption in this country, this House must support a good Executive like His Excellency the President. I would urge hon. Members that we stand with him. In his wonderful Speech, as I said earlier on, there are things that this House can amend and bring in legislation to support him, so that we can corruption in this country. In his Address, he talked about the history of the people who have suffered in this country. I want to thank this House for the Motion on honouring of freedom fighters, which we passed. Probably, the President did not have time when either addressing this House or writing his Speech for this, but I want to remind him and this House that our freedom fighters have not been honoured in this Speech. With the approval of this House, the Kshs10 billion fund that is going to be created should be enhanced to Kshs30 billion, so that our freedom fighters from across the country can start getting compensation. We should continue building up this fund. It is an honour that is being extended to the victims by the President. Since we attained Independence more than 50 years ago, nobody in the Government has ever apologized or thanked our freedom fighters. This is the time to do it, as Government."
