Asante sana, nakushukuru. Bw. Spika wa Muda, Rais alisema kuwa Wakenya wanoenaka wamehitimu kwa wizi. Hapo ndipo tumefikia. Maskini anaweka pesa katika benki na anapoenda kuzitoa, anakuta benki imefungwa. Sio moja, mbili, tatu au nne. Hii ni kwa sababu kila mtu ameweka katika akili yake kwamba ukitaka kufaulu katika taifa letu, ni lazima uibe. Juzi kulikuwa na madai hapa kwenye Bunge letu.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Looking at Article 132(c)(i) of the Constitution, the President, in his Address, must tell Kenyans the progress that has been made by his Government in several areas. As representatives of the people, we are trying to voice out through this House, the issues that probably Kenyans could be expecting the President of the Republic of Kenya to address in his Speech.
