    "content": " I hope so. When John Kerry came here, he refused to meet him for reasons that you know. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to urge Kenyans that days like tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, are days for us to stand together and show the world that this is a country with a great future, clear destiny and people determined to succeed. I want to tell the bigots in Jubilee who are practicing tribalism, who are connoisseurs of corruption, that they are killing the spirit of this country. When every other day President Uhuru and the Deputy President appoint people to high office, 60 to 70 per cent are from their communities. That is not good for this country. I know that some of us across the Floor may not have the capacity or the courage to say this, but we speak it for them and we will continue speaking for them. When everybody is appointed and you see Sen. Abu Chiaba standing there to cheer, and you ask him who from his county has been appointed, there is nobody. He is cheering because he believes that if he does not cheer, Jubilee will harm him. They will not harm you. The Constitution is your defender and protector. I support this Motion. It is a Motion that has no resolution, but it is a Motion that has far reaching effect on the appreciation of this House to the fact that our own is the President of the most powerful country in the world today. It may not be forever. Let us hope by him coming to Kenya, he will leave Kenya better than he found it and that Kenyans, especially our colleagues in Jubilee are not right now salivating and positioning themselves to cut deals in a corrupt manner as they do, but to sit and talk for the betterment of this country. If there is money to do roads, let it do roads all over the country. If it is money for healthcare, let it help the health of Kenyans everywhere. If it is money for environment, Laikipia County also deserves a clean environment. If it is money for security, let us stamp out banditry in Laikipia, Turkana and everywhere else. I beg to second."
