    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me also join my colleagues to thank the President of the USA for visiting Kenya. I must say that it was a very well planned visit. It came at the right time when this country was actually at crossroads on many issues. The issues which the President addressed like corruption, terrorism, women issues, development and national unity have actually dogged this country in the recent past. I must say that from the time the President arrived at the airport, his body language, how he greeted Kenyans, how he received his sister and the ride in “the Beast” he gave to his sister showed clearly that President Obama is a real human being. You can imagine somebody from the White House having dinner with his whole extended family which is not known in the USA. It shows that, that is a great son of this continent. I must also thank him for the engagement he had with our country at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, which is also his initiative. It is the first time it is being held in Sub-Saharan Africa. We thank him for the encouragement he gave to the youth. The speech he gave at that function, the connectivity he made with the people when he said “ Niaje wasee ” and “ Hawayuni ” shows how President Obama can actually connect with the people. He really connected with the people who were in the crowd."
