    "content": "Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, I would like to remind hon. Members that we have the rare opportunity to participate in the enactment of new laws which are intended to transform our governance architecture, and which will change our social, economic and political interactions. Indeed, as a country, we have not, in the past, given priority to the systematic unveiling of a set of values and principles which define or become our national interest. We have now a clear opportunity to do so through the national values and guiding principles that are enshrined in our new Constitution. As we implement our new Constitution, we will encounter challenges. However, that should not distract us from our goals. In saying this, I am fully aware of the challenges and opportunities that we face in decisively dealing with the post election crisis that we faced in 2008. I thank the Kenyan people and you, the leaders, for embracing the spirit of national reconciliation and healing. Our new Constitution has given us the necessary framework to create credible institutions that can serve our needs and deal with past injustices. We have begun creating objective and independent institutions to ensure the fair application of the law. It is my hope that we shall play our role in ensuring that these institutions are fully operational. I thank you and may God bless you all. God bless our country."
