    "content": "Equally important, the three arms are supposed to be free from intimidation or control by any foreign or domestic actors and any special interest groups. Every Kenyan official who serves in these arms of Government and commissions must be constantly on the lookout for any actions that undermine their independence. They should understand that undertaking the sacred task that the Kenyan people have given them requires that they constantly remember and affirm, in word and deed, that the people of Kenya are sovereign. Hon. Members, no technicality, no conference, no process, no power or no influence should ever stand in the way of that sovereign will. The Kenyan people expect every arm and institution of Government to work together for them. Parliament directly represents the people and it is you, hon. Members, who must constantly remind all of us about the needs and aspirations of the people who sent you here. Hon. Speakers and Members, our country is at a defining moment during which we are called upon to rise to our wisest, our most generous and most honest. Every Member of this august House represents the full and beautiful diversity of our nation. From Mombasa to Malaba, from Namanga to Moyale we may speak different languages, worship differently and live in different parts of the country, but we must accept that we are one people; children of Kenya. The success of our nation is the love that each and every one of our people has for this country. Yes, we must all love Kenya and Kenya must always come first. Hon Members, this august House must stand for that unity and must rise to the promises we have made to the people of this great nation. Nothing can come second to that. Finally, hon. Speakers and Members, let me once again emphasize that we must work together to serve our people. We must understand that the future prosperity, peace and security of our beloved nation is firmly but safely in our hands. May God bless the Twelfth Parliament. As you start your work, you can count on my 110 per cent support. I thank you and wish you God’s blessings. May God bless this great nation of Kenya."
