Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to give my comments on the President‘s Address and to also commend him for the speech. People are always quick to see negative things and hardly see the positive when it comes to leadership. Presidency is not easy. People are quick to say that the President should have done this or that yet they could not have done what they are asking the President to do. I commend the President because he talked of national values which are in Article 10 of our Constitution. Patriotism, inclusivity ...

I commend Sen. Madzayo for his concern. I am happy that he is listening keenly to what I am saying. I will continue raising awareness to our leaders here in the Chamber. Maybe one or two of them will take what I am saying and implement it on the ground.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I was happy about the President‘s Speech and was even trying to make a tally of his ―no turning back‖ statements. I started making a frequency count when he said that there would be no turning back on the national obligations, international obligations, issues of inclusivity, the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and so on. The frequency count I did was tallying to more than ten.This shows that the President is committed to what he is saying.

Mr. TemporarySpeaker, Sir, as Kenyans we need to support the initiative that he has and encourage others even at leadership levels, so that we ensure that we are not turning back. If the President says that, he is not alone in leadership. He needs leaders to also support what he is saying. We, as leaders, can do so if we use our leadership skills to implement it.

The President said that there will be no turning back on the Building Bridges Initiative. I commend him for it. This is because when the ―handshake‖ happened it was great for all Kenyans. Before that, the economy, social interaction and politics of the country were shaky. However, the ―handshake‖ came with a different twist of unity and love. I commend the President and the former Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga because when they had the ―handshake‖ it changed the national perspective for many Kenyans and there was peace all over. I am happy that the President said that ...
