    "content": "as per Article 10 of the Constitution. Likewise, let us not vilify and condemn the firimbi team because there is freedom of speech and expression. Unfortunately, I was outside the country during the State of the Nation Address. I would have done a better job than they did. It is very unfortunate that I was not there. When I came back, I read the President’s Speech. It covered many things. He talked about the many things that his Government has achieved. There is a narrative that is being told in this country that the Opposition does not see anything good the Government has done. That could not be further from the truth. The Opposition sees what the Government has done. The Opposition’s mandate and responsibility is to pinpoint what the Government has not done. That is exactly what they are doing, nothing more, nothing less. It is the responsibility of the Opposition, constitutionally and legally, to criticise and tell the Government what it has not done or achieved. When I read the President’s Speech, I realised that two issues were conspicuously missing. One of the issues that were missing is national cohesion. This country is bleeding. It is being torn apart. Every community is crying. When the ICC cases ended, by whichever means they ended, we should have taken this opportunity to reconcile the country and come together instead of going to Afraha Stadium to celebrate and leave other people who are still complaining to continue doing so."
