    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. As Hon. Mwaura said, when President Obama was here a few days ago, he made great speeches. Kenyans danced, laughed, ululated and some even cried. If you look at the content of the speeches, he was talking about things we know, should have done and have even put up structures for. The question is: Why have we not done them? Of the things he said, corruption and insecurity were upmost. We even have structures for them. Why are things not working? If we are to be really sincere in our happiness, elation and the optimism that we showed, we must start acting to achieve the ideals that he mentioned. This Motion, in a small way, gives us the opportunity to start acting out the things that we demonstrated we loved. It may do so in a small way but it is important. I would call upon the Mover, Hon. Waluke, to amend this Motion. Hon. Waluke, I am directing you to amend this Motion to say that this House “resolves” and not “urges” so that we can follow up with the Committee on Implementation and get there."
