    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for allowing me to support the Presidential Address as issued and contained in the documents given to us. This was, and will remain one of the most important key addresses in the recent times and in future in Parliament. I was, particularly, thrilled by his Address. I was happy. Everybody else was happy, except those who decided not to listen. They never listened and should not even comment because they never heard and were not there to see the mood in the House. We are talking about our country. One day, we will not be there, maybe it will be talked about by the future generations after we have left. Our country has been independent for the last 50 years. Other countries have been independent for the last 240 years. In this case, I have in mind the United States of America (USA) which became independent on 4th July, 1776. They remember their year of independence and 4th July as the Independence Day. They are proud of that. They take stock of their achievements. Therefore, the Presidential Address was not a way of wasting time. It is done worldwide. Every country which is proud of its name has to recount its achievements and failures. The President’s key Address last Thursday was noted. It was very good. I support everything he said, 100 percent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we were there during Independence. Some of the Members were not there, but they are here today. We could see the struggles that the people experienced before 1963. There were a lot of problems. When we got Independence in 1963, we started to solve our country’s problems because we were independent. The three presidents who have been there before may claim that they have had various achievements. The fourth President, Uhuru Kenyatta, who shall be the president until the people of Kenya decide otherwise, is the President of the people. He told us The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
