Lastly, this is a very important point. The President talked about us having security, but since June 2024, this country has witnessed high levels of insecurity, such as the killing of youths and the Shakahola issue has never been addressed. What is insecurity in Kenya…"

As he gave his scorecard for the two years, he was very clear and, most importantly, he sold hope to the great people of Kenya. What struck me most was when he pointed out and demonstrated how the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has increased its revenue from Ksh5.3 billion to Ksh7.6 billion"

"content": "by strengthening and tightening their procurement processes, which cut down on wastages by digitalising their systems. This is one parastatal that has done so well, and the template being used by them should be cascaded throughout the country to help institutions be self-sustaining. He also mentioned so many gains, among them the stabilisation of the shilling, which appreciated from Kshs162 to the Dollar and is now at Ksh129, reflecting a positive turnaround and upward trajectory to the economy. Issues to do with economy are key, and he also mentioned the fact that inflation rate has come down. I am very happy about that because inflation dropped from 9.6 to 2.7 per cent, which is very impressive. He also mentioned the employment of 56,000 Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers. We take note that, in a record two years, no other Government has been able to employ 56,000 teachers on permanent and pensionable status. Alongside that, I have taken note of the construction of over 11,000 JSS classrooms across the country. It is also notable that, in agriculture, sugar factories have been revived. Seventeen factories are now operational, and we shall soon be self-sustaining. It is, therefore, remarkable. On the fight against corruption, he gave zero-tolerance and asked the National Treasury and Economic Planning to adopt e-procurement services. I am happy, and it is notable that 20,850 services are currently being offered digitally, which is something to be proud of. Another thing that I am happy about is that each arm of Government was called out, for example, Parliament on the issue of Conflict of Interest Bill, 2023, and the Judiciary on the issue of delayed cases. I also take note of SHA, SHIF and Taifa Care health care services. I call upon Kenyans to note that this is a new product which I believe is good. Let us give it some time. As many Members have said, and as the President also mentioned, it is important for us to tell our people to register so that they can enjoy using these services. Also, notably are the trips that the President and his entourage have made overseas, which I believe have borne a lot of fruits. The bilateral agreements and memoranda of understanding have shown that the labour force we are now exporting will help and assist in the growth of the GDP. Lastly, I am happy that the policies that have been put in place have helped bring down the cost of living. For example, the price of commodities like unga and other stuff like fuel and petrol products have come down. I am happy that this country is now on a positive trajectory. Thank you."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to add and contribute to this important President’s Address to the nation. The President’s Address to this National Assembly is a matter that is constitutional and therefore meant to communicate, or rather set the agenda, to the country. The whole country was waiting anxiously to hear the message that the President had for this country. There is a Swahili saying, Mgala muue, na haki umpe, and I must agree that the Address gave hope to Kenyans, especially on the number of variables I wish to delve into. First is the issue of education. It is a fact that this regime has done extremely well in matters of education. As much as we have had challenges on teacher management, especially recruitment of teachers, it is a plus that we should all be able to applaud. To date, this Government has recruited close to 56,000 teachers, who will help address the huge teacher shortage that we have had. I believe this is an issue we should all applaud and appreciate because, in previous regimes, teachers were only employed at a rate of 5,000 per year, which was purely replacement. Therefore, the step this regime took to employ teachers was very bold indeed, and I must applaud the President for that."
