    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one would expect a President to visit a foreign land in the interest of his country. At the very least, he would not represent his country in bad light. I think the President is so frustrated about this issue of corruption that he had to go to a foreign land to make a very important point to Kenyans, in the form of a hyperbole. He went even further to say: “Not only are all my people corrupt, but the whole Republic is corrupt.”If you watched the President speak, he was more or less, near hysterical about this point. It kind of pricked him so much that it went to the point of urging him to say it in a foreign land. I do not think we should take the President literally; he was trying to convey a message. Churchill was the best at this kind of thing; that if you want to make an important point, you do it in hyperbole. However, histrionic hyperbole is even further than that."
