    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to support this Motion regarding the visit by the President of the USA, Mr. Obama. The speech which he delivered on Sunday was not only thrilling, but reminded us of many things that we should do as a country to forge ahead and be like the Americans. Going by history, the USA became independent from other forces like the British, Spanish and French in 4th July, 1776. We will continue to remember them for their Independence Day. Our Independence Day is on 12th December, 1963. Comparing the two countries, the USA has had its independence for the last 240 years while Kenya has had its independence for the last 52 years. Between the two countries, President Obama told us that even if we have been independent for 52 years, there is still a lot of hope. He was comparing us with Korea and telling us that we are a step towards Korea. Korea has been threatening us in terms of progress. This is clear indication that if we are all united like the USA flag--- I do not know whether most of you know what the USA Flag stands for. The white and red strips of the USA Flag indicate the first 13 USA states. The other stars total to the number of the states of the USA. He was trying to tell us that all the states of the USA speak one language. Development is steered by one person; President Barack Obama. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, going by the history he told us of how women are important, it is also important to stand clear and say that women are truly important.
