"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for granting me this opportunity to express my views on the State of the Nation Address by the President. In summary, the President's speech was short or concise, hopeful and very forward looking. I agree with the Whip of the Majority Party that he touched on key issues affecting Kenyans. The President talked at length about the state of food security in the country. He had very good news for the sugarcane farmers. He told the nation that the 17 sugar industries we have in the country are all now functional, up and running. For the first time since independence, we have a surplus of sugar production in this country. He also had very good news for the coffee farmers. They are now enjoying good prices. The President also talked about health. He elucidated at length about SHIF and SHA. He drew a clear difference between Taifa Care and the defunct NHIF. He explained why Taifa Care, under SHA, is more superior to the defunct NHIF."

"content": "The President also addressed education matters. He touched on the teachers’ crisis and how the Government will address it. He addressed the issues arising from the Competency- Based Curriculum (CBC). He also addressed the question of the crisis in our universities now. We have a lecturers’ strike going on. Most of the students from universities are languishing at home. The President also addressed and condemned the many cases of people disappearing and illegal arrests. He termed them as a threat to life of Kenyans. He also talked about wastage and corruption. You remember we gave him a standing ovation when he particularly talked about the Adani deals. There are two things I wish the President had addressed in his speech, but he did not. When he talked about food security, he had good news for the sugarcane farmers and coffee farmers. I wish he also addressed the state of livestock farmers in this country. The livestock industry supports about 10 million Kenyans in 14 Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) counties. It contributes 12 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It contributes 50 per cent of the agriculture labour force. It is affected by droughts and conflicts. I wish the President addressed the state of the livestock industry in relation to the food security component that he addressed. Going forward, whenever we address issues of food security and agriculture, we should always make effort to address the livestock component of the agriculture sector."

In parts of North Eastern, there are people who have been disappearing under enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. For example, in my constituency, I have three Kenyans who have been missing for the last six months: Hassan Mali Mali of Identification Card Number 26881584; Adan Mali Mali of Identification Card Number 35332269; and, Abdi"

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President's Speech. The President’s Speech was good and we are happy because most of the issues Kenyans face were addressed. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you are one of the leaders who visited the President a day before he came to address the nation. The issue of gender-based violence is on the rise. Every day, we wake up to killing of women by men. It is unfortunate that the people who are killing us are the people we expect to give us leisure. We also contribute to their leisure so that they can enjoy the company of women. It is unfortunate that women are dying in the hands of the men that the women have entrusted their lives with. The President addressed this issue as we requested: that he should provide for desks in hospitals to address cases of gender-based violence. This is to ensure that when a woman is taken to the hospital, for example, she should be given P3 forms and the police should address that issue in the hospitals. The cases are rising in number at an alarming rate, and as women we are facing it. We are really terrified that every day as we wake up, we are not sure that we are going to get home safely. When you look at the issue of the three women ―a woman and her three daughters ― who were killed the other day in Eastleigh, it is really scary. Therefore, it is an issue that we cannot stand as women."
