From the President's Speech, it is clear there are parameters telling us that we are in the right direction of recovery. The President enumerated some of the successes we are all seeing. If it is the price of fuel, it has been consistently going down month by month. If it is the cost of living, the price of unga is not where it was in 2022. The President told us that, if we were to put it in a word, it would be what the Swahili say, ukiona vyaelea, jua vimeundwa . It took a policy change, shifting from subsidising consumption to subsidising production. That is what has led to the reduction of the cost of living, especially the cost of basic goods like"

"content": ". Inflation came from a high of 9 per cent to a low of 2.6 per cent. The last time we were at an inflation rate lower than 3 per cent was more than 17 years ago. The point I am making here is that, yes, there are plans that have been put out there. Yes, there has been implementation going on and, yes, there have been results. From the speech, the President is telling us that the situation is not business as usual. The situation calls for agility. It calls for innovation. It also calls for responsiveness. That is why the President says that he is listening. This House is also listening. Leaders are now being forced to hear what it is that the people are saying. Even as we become agile, innovative and responsive, we have to place responsibility where it has to be placed. In his speech, the President spoke about plans in the sector that the Committee I chair superintends: the sector of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) and the digital economy. He talked about rolling out 100 kilometres of fibre, Wi-Fi hotspots, digitisation of government services and the institution of digital innovation hubs. For this to happen, it will not be just the work of the Executive. It will take the Cabinet to move with him. Members of Parliament have to also take their role, especially in the installation of digital innovation hubs. The ministries and agencies will have to be way more agile. They will have to do that which the President is calling on us to do—to be innovative in the approach and responsive—so that we take this farm that we call Kenya ahead. The President drew a picture of us as farmers. We have planted a seed that we all must take care of and prune if we shall harvest the fruits espoused in the national anthem that says “plenty be found within our borders”. It was a great speech. It is for us to now implement it. Thank you very much."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for according me this opportunity to add my voice. I applaud our President for the great State of the Nation Address. I was particularly very happy because the President gave a very, very good speech. The Address was very specific to the issues raised by wananchi and their aspirations. The very issues that the President took us through were measurable, achievable and time-bound. The President started by recognising issues raised by wananchi or the people of Kenya, which was a very good indicator that he is alive to the issues bedevilling our nation. That really made me very happy about him. It also showed us that our President is a listening President. That is why he started by mentioning issues bedevilling our people. He went ahead to give the progress and plans he has to take this country forward. I am really happy about the progress with the affordable housing programme and enhanced food security in this country. For a while there has not been a need for distribution of relief food in this country, because of affordable fertiliser and the favourable weather that the Lord has blessed us with. There is enhanced food security. The President also mentioned something that excited me about improvement in the sugar sector. He mentioned that we are already self-sufficient in terms of sugar production and, therefore, we do not need to import sugar anymore. We have sufficient sugar for our nation and we are going to have more to export. That made me very happy because previously we had been importing sugar. That is why we had a menace of contaminated sugar, which led to a lot"

That is something very good. The President also mentioned something on the economic growth: That we are on an upward trajectory. He also said that he had put measures in place to increase the tax base, which is going to improve revenue collection in this country and improve our economy. We are really happy about the President’s Address. He mentioned the declining inflation, which has moved to 2.7 per cent from 9.6 per cent in 2022. This is a very positive trajectory in this country. Even the dollar has now gone down and it has made commodity prices to go down. We thank the President because he has listened and put measures in place to improve our country going forward. I was really excited when the President ended by saying that this country is resilient. It is very true. Our country is resilient and we thank the President for putting proper measures in place. He has already hired the highest number of teachers, which has never been done before. Hiring 56,000 teachers is not a mean achievement. He has plans to employ another 20,000 teachers by January. We are praying that as we get into the next budget…"

We have quite a number of teachers who still are not employed. Employing them will bring back our education to the mark where we were before. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I thank our President for putting a lot of work into this. That speech was wonderful. It has given hope to the people. I was on the ground and people are very happy about it because they can see hope. People are now positive about UHC and SHA. They have understood what they mean."
