"content": "South Mugirango, UDA): Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also speak to the Presidential Address by His Excellency the President in this House. The President, in my view, spoke to the real issues that affect the common mwananchi. He has been accused in the past of not being in touch with the things that affect the common man . However, from the Address that he gave last week, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to identify the things that he said directly touch on the common mwananchi. The challenge we have as a country now is that people are naturally negative. That is the situation we are facing right now. I will be very specific on the things that the President spoke to, especially on health, education, the Adani deal, and even the cost of living. It is a fact – we all live in this country – that at the time the President took power as the President of this country, the prize of common commodities like unga, our staple food, was very high. That is no more because of the measures that have been put in place to make sure that we increase our production. The President spoke to that fact. The President also spoke about the economy. He talked about the exchange rate of the United States of America (USA) Dollar against the Kenya Shilling which is not as it was when he took over power. This is also a fact. More importantly, and a thing that touches the common mwananchi that is so dear to so many of us is the SHIF. Several people who do not understand how it works and do not want to understand how it works are opposing a very noble idea. On one point, you want leaders that you elect to bring change. When they bring it, you raise questions and say we need to go back to status quo . You complain that NHIF is not working. It has not been working because people make unscrupulous claims. Now, when there is a system that is put in place that is working very well, you, again, say that we revert to the old system. Why do you elect leaders? You do it for change and you admit their ideas. You cannot complain without offering a solution. I want to read a message that I received yesterday from a constituent about SHIF: “Good evening, Mheshimiwa. I wish I can get an opportunity to thank His Excellency the President, but through you, the message is at home. I am from South Mugirango, Tabaka Ward and a beneficiary of Social Health Authority. It has footed my dad's surgery hospital bill of Ksh151, 000 without me paying a shilling”. These are people who are sending us messages. When they had challenges, they used to invite us for medical fundraisers. This is transformation. This is something that all of us should celebrate."

"content": "The President spoke loudly and in a clear language. He encouraged Members to tell the members of public to register in large numbers, because this is now what we call the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) system. It is working. On this point, he spoke to the real issues. The President also spoke to the issues that bedevil this country: femicide and Gender- Based Violence (GBV). One wakes up one morning and decides to make his wife, girlfriend, or woman a punching bag and then kills them. Some of them are tortured to death, which is really shocking. I do not know whether it is a moral issue or the devil gets into people's heads. A man wakes up one morning and decides to turn the person whom he lives with or he has a relationship with into an animal and hits her. That is the point the President spoke to. We all condemn it."

That is why the Members of Parliament gave the President a standing ovation. It is because he is fighting corruption."
