    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to make a comment and support the Motion on the President’s Address as delivered in compliance with the relevant provisions of the law and the Constitution. First of all, as a nation, we have no choice but to embrace the BBI and the handshake. We must agree that it has brought some tranquility, peace and normalcy in this country. I know it was not an easy decision for either of the two parties, His Excellency the President and the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga to forget the past and put the interests of Kenyans before their personal interests. It is important that all Kenyans walk the talk and at all times embrace peace, each other and accept that we belong to one undivided country. We have no room and opportunity to go elsewhere. We are here and we must work together. There has been noise all over of people who feel threatened when there is peace in the country. People who feel they have nothing to do when there is peace in the country. That is why I support the sentiments of the President and the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga that, it is time to work and develop. There is no time to politic. There is time to politic and time to work. As it has been indicated in the Bible, there is time for everything. I, therefore, urge Members from the various political divide to appreciate and work together to build a one united nation called Kenya.
