    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President on two areas, namely, the unity and the handshake. As far as I know, there is nowhere in this world where you can do anything without peace. I am urging all Kenyans to support the President on this. Since we have this unity, I hope investors will start investing in Kenya. We are urging investors from all over the world to come and invest in this country because we have peace. Secondly, I am supporting the President on the war against corruption. I am saying without fear of contradiction that there is nowhere in this world where a country can succeed with corruption. So, corruption must be fought by everybody. I am urging Members of Parliament to support the President on this war against corruption. In addition, we need to see action. We need to see people being prosecuted and being put in jail so that those who are planning to steal are deterred. I support the President on the two items. Firstly, I support the handshake. Before the handshake, I used to tell my colleagues here in Parliament that the best option is to ensure that we get along with the Opposition so that our country can make progress. Some people laughed at me at that time, but now it has become a reality. I am very proud because any Kenyan can move anywhere. The other day, I was in Kisumu and saw people doing businesses. I went to Mombasa and there were many tourists. This is what we want. Those are my few remarks and all Kenyans must support the President on these two areas."
