    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution on the important President’s Address in the august House. I commend the Head of State for giving a very exclusive Address to the nation in regard to a number of issues. I would like to commend him on the issue of unity among Kenyans and the way he has enhanced and facilitated the handshake between him and the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. One important thing is that it has brought sobriety and consensus among Kenyans on the issue of security in the nation. The economy was not doing well because of the hostility and the political temperature at that time, but these two gentlemen, who appear to have come together in this regard, have set a centre stage and the direction of where the country should be, so that we can live in peace and tranquillity and continue to drive our economy forward. That is the commendable direction which His Excellency the President has indicated. The Head of State has shown humility by apologising to Kenyans in areas he may have let them down. That shows that he is a statesman. He has indicated that he is indeed a statesman. He is clearly focused and he wants to leave a legacy so that he can contribute to the development of this nation. That was commendable. One thing is clear that he has apologised to Kenyans. He has apologised to locals. That is an indication of humility which we, indeed, expected from His Excellency, Hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. One thing is important. Having a handshake between two individuals is good, but we want those peace initiatives to be cascaded to Kenyans and to all followers of the respective political divide in the country so that every Kenyan can embrace peace and tranquillity and we can forge forward as a nation."
