    "content": "As we go into this recess, we also need to reflect on the good. As much as we reflect on the good, let us also reflect on the bad. I get very concerned when those of us who have been privileged to be in positions of leadership, do things that do not recognise the fact that we need to contribute in holding the country together. I have gone to many countries of the world and I keep saying that given a second, third, fourth and even tenth chance, I would still chose Kenya as my country. Holding this country together is the work of every leader. Societal conviviality is the duty of every Member of Parliament. In fact, as Parliament under Articles 94(2) and (4), we have a duty to uphold the ideals of the Constitution. One of the ideals of the Constitution is national unity. It, therefore, saddens me when leaders who are Members of this House make statements that clearly have the possibility of tearing this country apart. We need to be unanimous in condemning such leaders. We need to be unanimous in realising that it is for me a privilege to be a Kenyan and that privilege must be safeguarded.
