"content": "When we talk about development or the country being stronger, I think we were stronger in 1963. In 1963, anybody who wanted to go to school could go and finish his studies. Anybody who became sick could go to the nearest dispensary and get treatment free of charge and become well to serve this nation. In 1963, Kenyans were very united except the Northern Frontier Districts which were also very united amongst themselves although they were cut off from the rest of the country. Unfortunately today, if a regional commissioner is posted to Rift Valley the first question we will all ask is, huyo mtu alipelekwa Nakuru ni wa kabila gani? We have become so divided and ethnicised. We cannot be proud of being united, and what the Presidential Address needs to come up with is a strategy where we can come together and do better than what we were in 1963. Unfortunately, we are not."
