    "content": "Kenyans reacted with a surge of optimism to our meeting because they wanted a return to unity. Our handshake invited Kenyans to rediscover what they had known all along: when all the politics is said and done, we are each other’s keeper and we are stronger together. If Kenya is to remain strong, we must also change our approach to political competition. We are proud, and I believe it is rightly so, of our cultural heritage. But, it does not follow that our ethnic identity should also be our political identity. We have done just that for half a century and it has brought us close to very near complete ruin. Too many of us have manipulated our ethnicities to seize power and then exploited it to avoid accountability. Fellow Kenyans, we cannot afford another 50 years of our farmers struggling to make a living; of families without proper sanitation; or of families bankrupted by healthcare costs. In this generation, we need to change so that our children can grow to adulthood in a totally different Kenya."
