    "content": "Kenyatta was born in this nation. He knows very well the history of this nation. He knows the agony his father underwent. There is no way he will leave this nation to go to the dogs. He is the person who loves this nation so much. That is why he took a bold step to apologise and seek for forgiveness. That is not an ordinary thing. So I trust the President and one thing that he has shown is that he wants to unite Kenyans despite ethnic differences and political differences. He went above all those things to unite Kenyans by forgetting the differences. I also want to support his Speech because it is historic. I know the issue of corruption is becoming endemic in our Ministries and homes. So I think the best he did is to hit the target. I want to quote one of the scriptures. One time when Jesus found people doing business in the house of the Lord he decided to chase them by saying: “This house is not meant for business. This house is meant for worshipping.” That is what the President has said. This nation is not for corruption. This nation is to be served by Kenyans. This nation is meant to be respected by Kenyans. What he did was to tell Kenyans that he will not accept that people do business or be corrupt in this nation because he loves this nation, the land of his father. I want to support what he said because it is very biblical. That is not enough. Those who are directing their fingers to the President, I want to remind them of the biblical analogy where an adulterous woman was brought to Jesus. People said: “This one has sinned.” But Jesus told them: “Before you stone this woman, look at yourselves. Are you clean?” Everybody left. This is exactly what I want to tell our counterparts. Before you direct your fingers at the President, we are not angels. We have offices that we are taking care of. Are you angels? Are you sure you have no gap? Are you sure you have no weakness? See your weakness first. The President has finished his. You look at yours first and make sure you have cleaned your house."
