    "content": "Hon. Members, you and I owe our presence here today to Kenyans who chose us to represent them. The trust they have bestowed on us is sacred. We must always remember that as leaders we do not serve only those who voted for us. We serve all Kenyans as required by our Constitution. Hon. Speakers and Members, the Constitution that brings us here for this address is a guide, an instruction and a tool to help us craft the Kenya that is freer, fairer, wealthier and well united. Indeed today, let us consider whether we have preserved, protected and honoured it. I believe we have. Our constitutional order is stable. It is secure and it is growing in strength. Devolution is no longer a baby. It is now an established framework for governing and delivering public services. Five years of establishing the county governments have taught Kenyans what they want of devolution, and how to get it. Overall, the Government, that is, both levels of the national Government as well as our new county governments, is becoming more responsive to the needs of Kenyans, as we all hoped it would when we passed the new law."
