    "content": "That is why, today, I invite the Opposition and the alternative society to liberally criticise my Government’s agenda but they must not criticise it as a sport. They must criticise it as owners of the Covenant and provide alternatives. Criticism without alternatives is just reckless political sport. Further, I also address myself to the beneficiaries of expanded fields of citizen expression including civil society, the general population and the media. They must enjoy the new liberties with conscientiousness, responsibility and faithfulness to the Covenant. I say this, hon. Members, because new found liberties have a way of promoting reckless abandon. As you enjoy the liberties, we must remain true to the spirit of our nationhood. We criticise if we must, but then give alternatives; build bridges between divides instead of digging trenches and build a culture of celebration instead of a culture of lamentation. In sum, those who enjoy our new liberties must not contaminate the spirit our nationalism. Everything will come and go in Kenya but the Covenant that binds us is eternal. If we remain true to this lowest common denominator, this historical exchange of promises and guarantees, this unwritten contract that binds all to one and one to all, then the State of the Nation will forever remain unchallenged."
