"content": "Your Excellency, hon. Members, I urge that we move quickly to among others: (a) Finalize the road link to both Ethiopia and Southern Sudan. For Southern Sudan, we have a plethora of reasons to complete this link considering the important role we played in the realization of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). (b) Upgrade the railway line from Mombasa to Kisumu and beyond and even create new lucrative routes for this important means of transport. (c) Provide a quick transit corridor through Kenya to our neighboring countries leveraging on our divine location endowed to us by creation. (d) Complete the proposed tourist cities across the country and see to it that we attract more visitors to the same including internal tourists. (e) Open up the Lamu Port for sea transport which is one of the efficient ways of transporting large consignments. Your Excellency, hon. Members, Kenyans are eager to move forward in building this nation. We need to desist from sideshows, power games, retrogressive politics and posturing that tend to delay our grand development plans. Let us be progressively flexible and avoid rigid positions. History is beckoning on this Tenth Parliament which has, inter alia, the cream of this countryâs leadership, to exclusively go into its annals as the Parliament that led the implementation of the Constitution within set timelines so as to give Kenyans the full value therein and made an infinite positive difference. With those few remarks, it is now my pleasure, privilege and honour to invite Your Excellency the President to address this House. I thank you."
