    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is a proud moment for Kenya and Africa to have our most famous son return home in the form of a state visit. In fact, it was the first ever state visit by a sitting President of the USA to this country. The visit marked two specific occasions: The official opening of the GES, which is the second time it is being held in Africa, having been held for the first time in Morocco; and a state visit during which the President of the USA enjoyed state honours like receiving a 21-gun salute and inspecting a guard of honour mounted by our esteemed KDF. President Obama challenged participants at the GES – which is actually his own initiative intended at encouraging investment in development of entrepreneurial skills of young people – to invest in energy and ideas of young people. In fact, the coming of this summit to Kenya was a crucible for the conversion of ideas into productive and job-creating enterprise. It is important not only to the world but also to young Kenyan entrepreneurs for him to have come here. I hope that the young entrepreneurs who participated at the GES took full opportunity of the summit to engage with the global business leaders who came to Kenya, some of who we only see on television or read about in magazines. We had the actual opportunity to meet and shake hands with them, and extract ideas on how to make our businesses more productive and take them to the next level.
