    "content": "The Speech by the President dwelt at length on the need to have proper leadership in this country, uphold our Constitution and support our people to reach their development goals. That is what we are supposed to do. Unlike other speeches which were made before in the other Parliaments; which talked about the agenda of the Government before the Houses, this one dwelt a lot on cohesion and unification of our people so that we can move forward and live and work for the prosperity and the good of our people. Kenya is bigger than all of us. We should not just be thinking about ourselves but about Kenya and the foundation that we are setting for this country. I think Kenyans have done very well so far, right from Independence but with a lot of challenges. However, we gave ourselves a Constitution in 2010. That Constitution is unique in the region that we are. We also had the opportunity to show the rest of the world that we have faith in our Constitution and institutions and because of that, an election of the President was nullified and we accepted. Going forward, I urge us - we owe it to ourselves - that this country must not be put on the wrong footing. If you look at what is happening in this country, one is actually worried that we might be having some dark days ahead of us, but God forbid. I ask all our leaders to come to their senses and let us go to the 26th October, 2017 elections with confidence so that Kenyans will again decide who their leaders will be and that whoever is elected should be the President of this country. The acrimony and confusion that we have in this country today is not necessary. With those few remarks, I beg to support and I thank you. Asante sana . Sorry for that mix of language."
