    "content": "Fourth, our democracy and constitutional institutions are strong, vibrant and capable of addressing all the challenges that may arise. The President in particular challenged the Judiciary and the leadership of this country to play a bigger role in making sure that all of us protect public resources. In discussing the President’s Address, Members will no doubt share in the spirit of the reconciliation “handshake” that has shown the strength of our democracy, the maturity of our politics, the patriotism of our leaders across the political divide, the unity and shared identity of all the people of Kenya. We have shown Africa and the entire world that our nation is one and united in our single belief in our Constitution, our national values and the Kenyan dream. The President has called upon all of us to realise that despite our cultural diversity, the different faith- based religions that we subscribe to and the regions we come from, Kenya is bigger and more important than our individual interests. Never again will Kenyans die because of political competition. Never again will citizens’ property be lost because of an election or political competition. All of us must bury the curse of ethnicity and build politics that are based on our nation. Never again will we be in political parties that are anchored and based on ethnic foundations. If the first State of the Nation Address of the President’s second term was to be summed up in one sentence, it would be: May we dwell in unity, peace and liberty; plenty be found within our borders. That is a summary, in one sentence, of the hallmark of the Speech of the President. The Speech of the President - within the reading of the Standing Orders - will be debated by the House in the next four consecutive sittings."
