    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also respond to the State of the Nation Address by the President of the Republic of Kenya on 31st March, 2016. I want to categorically say that what the President told Kenyans was merely public relations rather than telling them where the State is going. As I speak, the President should unite all Kenyans rather than dividing them. The Kenya that we are living in today has a lot of divisions. Looking at the security of this nation, you will wonder whether we have a President who was sworn in to protect the rights and properties of Kenyans. Let me give an example of Migingo Island. On that day, I wanted the President to address Kenyans and tell them whether Migingo is still part of Kenya as a sovereign State. Of late, we are seeing troops from Uganda manning the Island. Kenyans who live in Migingo do not have freedom. They do not understand why we have troops invading Kenya yet we have a President. We have a President who was sworn in to protect us. We wanted the President to tell Kenyans if Migingo has been sold to Uganda or if it is still part of the Kenyan land. That did not come out. We are telling the President that he was sworn in as the President of the nation and he should protect all Kenyans. He should not look at other Kenyans as though they are not Kenyans. There is a lot of public relations in the President’s Address amid claims that the Jubilee Government has supplied electricity in all parts of Kenya. This process was not started by the Jubilee Government, but by the Coalition Government. The Jubilee Government wants to take credit for what was started by the Coalition Government, namely, the nusu mkate Government .
