    "content": "Point noted, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will take the minimum time possible. I commend the President for coming up with this State of the Nation Address, especially on security. He went out of his way to spell out almost each and every sphere of this country and where we need to address. He has done his constitutional job. Unfortunately, when this information comes to the public domain or for implementation, it is the implementing machinery of this country that has failed this country. At the end of the day, we end up in blame game. We end up in blaming one another: the Opposition blaming the Government and the Government saying it is the Opposition which is looking at it with a bad eye. But what is most important is that we Kenyans should embrace patriotism and know that we belong to this country and this country is ours. If we do not tame the monster called corruption, drug trafficking, cattle rustling and insecurity in our areas and the politics of hatred, this country is going nowhere. Environmentally, we are doing very poorly. We are assisting foreigners and ourselves to loot our natural heritage. We have depleted our forests. Our rivers are drying up. And we are out in the streets demonstrating, demanding a lot of money as salaries without addressing these other things. There is a lot to be said. We have destroyed our young generations with drugs when we make money. We make money as few individuals but in the long run destroy generations who could have made this country a better place to live in. The President means good for this country. I pray those people who are charged with the responsibility of doing this work to also be vibrant as the President and address all the issues positively and as a nation. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
