    "content": "Hon. Members, ours must not be the business of making it difficult for Kenyans to do business. We must simplify and make it cheaper for our people to do business. In the same vein, I call upon our county governments to follow suit in undertaking a review of prohibitive licences and levies under their purview. I promise you that once done, you will all see the impact on job creation in this country. Fellow Kenyans, under my administration, Article 34 of the Constitution has truly been brought to life. Our media is the vanguard of our values as a nation and they hold a special place in our socio-economic life. They form the essential bridge between the different strata of our society. They help to convey critical information, shape opinions and the psyche of our people. The media shines light on the misdeeds that must be laid bare to the public. It sings songs of praise that galvanize our nation during times of victory. The media is also a broad sword that has grown even more potent with the evolution of new social media channels that bring on board the multiplier effect of citizen journalism. For that very reason, I will never tire to remind the Fourth Estate that with great power comes an even greater onus of responsibility; the responsibility to tell the truth, the responsibility to be fair and balanced in their criticism as well as in their praise of those in the public arena but most importantly, the responsibility and sacred duty to safeguard the unity of our nation."
