    "content": "He has talked about sustainable development and the steps the Government is taking to protect the environment. You need to take a helicopter or air tour across this country and go over Mau. The other day I went up to Marakwet. As you go across Naivasha and Kericho you will see what we are doing to our environment by harvesting and cutting trees and planting tea and maize on land which is properly reserved for our forests and water reservoirs. This cannot be. This is a country which is crying year after year because of drought and is busy constructing dams without considering the in-depth impact of those constructions on the integrity of our environment. Kenya today is the most divided society and this happened when we first stepped into this House. How I wish that this being the first Government to implement the Constitution we would be more united than we are! Appointment after appointment has come to this House and we have shouted until nowadays we say just pass the names. We now make a joke in the corridors when serious public appointments come about the name which will be presented and it turns out to be so. Why are we running Kenya as if it is a country of one or two tribes in a country of over 40 tribes? Why do we accept to run this country as if other Kenyans are just mere taxpayers? Time has come for us to seriously interrogate where we are going. I end by saying that the state of this nation under the Jubilee administration is the situation of a ship in the high seas without radar, captain and leadership. How I pray the people of Kenya think of the leadership which can take this country to where it should be with these serious national values and principles of governance! We wait for 8th August."
