    "content": "As we await the Address by the President tomorrow, we should look at things differently. We should not forget that at the end of the day, when we fall sick, a doctor does not question whether our blood is from a particular tribe. When I enter a hospital, I expect any Kenyan to save my life. I have never heard a boda boda rider ask my tribe. Unless we go back and avoid tribalism, we will burn our country. Our country is going down not because of the elite class that continues to safeguard its own but the political class that tampers with the system. If we do not change, we will burn our country. The political class must critically look at this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I looked at the article by David Ndii and it is unfortunate that he talked that way. He is forgetting that Kakamega County, for example, cannot employ six million children by 2022. They will need something from the national cake. There are counties that are still struggling. If Turkana County is in debt yet they draw the highest from the devolved funds and the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), then what is happening? How can such a county have challenges like the ones being experienced now? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we move on, we must remember that we have one Head of State. We always go to church and I hope we do not go attend church services for granted. I request the Members from Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) party to take God seriously. This is because He answers prayers and He will answer their prayers. Their wish is to be in Government but if they do it the right way and pray to God who gives and anoints, they would not have sunk on the platform in Malindi. Instead, God would have raised them. Therefore, they need to learn. If you are a leader, you should reflect on some of these things and ask yourself what happened or what you said that was very wrong that you had to go down at that moment when you were just talking about God. God lifts you at the time when you need Him most. For me, that is one statement they should reflect on. If they are leaders who believe that a country is run by God---. Even my President himself knows very well he is on the throne because of God but not because of his wish or will. He has to continue humbling himself that people in this country must live and stand together under his leadership. Therefore, even if he goes back to Israel, he should go back to the “Wailing Wall” or wherever he chooses to go to pray to God for the sake of this country. It is more precious than any of us; it belongs to the generations we want to bring up. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
