    "content": "Hon. Members, you are charged with a historic task to implement the new Constitution that Kenyans bestowed upon themselves in 2010. You have done that job well. Your commitment has put our nation on a solid legal foundation that is key to sustainable development. Fellow Kenyans and Hon. Members, the Constitution reminds us that our authority is a public trust to be exercised in a manner that brings honour to the nation, and in full accountability to Kenyans, by whom and for whom we hold that authority. We meet today to discharge our duty under that trust. Our Constitution demands that Kenyans and their representatives be informed of the state of the nation. As an accountable administration, we are obliged to explain to Kenyans what we have done with the mandate bestowed on us. It is my pleasure, therefore, to lay before this Joint Sitting of Parliament, and pursuant to Articles 10, 132 and 240 of our Constitution, reports regarding the state of our national security, measures taken and progress achieved in the realisation of national values; and to the National Assembly, a report on the progress made in fulfilling our international obligations. Since taking my oath of office, the implementation of the Constitution of Kenya has been a key priority of my agenda. In the last four years, the Jubilee Administration, with the help of this Parliament, has completed our constitutional implementation. During this phase, Parliament has passed and I have assented to 136 laws."
