    "content": "This process engineered by the President and the former Prime Minister is not a process of the two. It is a process of all of us. Like John F. Kennedy said: “Ask not what America is doing for you; ask what you are doing for America.” Let every Kenyan not ask what the President and the Prime Minister are doing for them but ask themselves: “What are you doing to contribute to the stability, peace, cohesion and development of this country?” This will only be done if we remember the great words of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere when he said: “Everything is possible. It can be done but you must do your part.” Do not stand there and cheer or jeer; be satisfied or complain; be part of the process and the game. Looking at both sides of this House, you see consummate and seasoned people. Sen. Haji, whom I always call the wise old man has been a District Officer (DO), District Commissioner (DC), Provincial Commissioner (PC), Minister or Member of Parliament (MP). He has something to contribute. When he speaks, let us listen and listen to one another. In a situation such as this – as I finish – remember that everybody has value. Vladmir Lenin said, even when a mad man speaks, listen to him; it may be his lucid moment. This is now the moment of lucidity for Kenyans. Even those who have embraced political lunacy, now embrace lucidity and come back to the reins and let us move forward together. Nothing is impossible and we shall succeed. We hail the two leaders for beating the odds and showing the way that is truly able to help. Long live Kenya. I speak this on behalf of the National Super Alliance (NASA) fraternity; Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, Hon. Musalia Mudavadi, yours truly and our brother, Raila Amollo Odinga enjoined as congenital twins in this. We will work together and make sure that this process is not frustrated, derailed or in any way made not to work. This country has a great future which rests on the shoulders of the great men and women of this country that include all of us here as assembled and those who are not here. I beg to support."
