So much has been done and much is yet to be done, especially on the many promises that we made to the people of Kenya in terms of completion of stalled projects like roads and many other things. I want to assure the President that he has our support. We must also go out of our way to ensure that we fulfil the promises that we made to our people. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to address this House on the matter at hand – the State of the Nation Address by the President, which is enshrined in the Constitution. His speech was very clear, well balanced and pragmatic. I was attentive from the beginning to the end, and I was impressed by his tone. First, he said that the state of the nation depends on individuals, and that it is a collective responsibility of all Kenyans. Secondly, he said that listening is a full-time occupation of leadership in carrying the people forward. Hon. Temporary Speaker, that is a very strong indication that the President was giving us hope. He reminded us where we have come from, where we are and where we are going. He was very clear. I want to mention a number of areas which have come to my mind. First, is the issue of the CBC education system. In Sotik, where I come from, we have a problem of unemployed teachers. It was reassuring for me to hear the President tell us that while we have employed 56,000 teachers, we will employ 20,000 more next year. I am asking"

I would like the TSC to give those teachers priority. I also want to talk about Taifa Care, the new Universal Health System. I applaud the President. In Sotik, all the chiefs and everyone else is now working on SHA. I am very sure that we will achieve what we want. All of us must work on this issue. I would also like to mention the issue of food security. I come from an area where agriculture and livestock are the mainstays of the economy. I thank the President for addressing the issue of production by giving us subsidised fertilisers. Food is now plenty everywhere. The only worry we currently have is about the prices of maize, which we have produced in large quantities. We are, therefore, asking the President to make sure that we stabilise the prices. Another issue is that of the New KCC. The current price of milk per litre in Sotik is Ksh50. We want it to go to Ksh55. I want to ask the Government to upgrade the New KCC plant in Sotik. Sotik is a municipality and, therefore, the New KCC plant should be upgraded to ensure that we have better salaries for the workers as the plant processes more milk daily. On cancellation of the Adani deals, I applaud the President. It was a good move. I support him. The JKIA should be upgraded to better standards because we need a better airport."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Speech by the Head of State. I start by appreciating the Speech because it instilled hope in Kenyans. The quality that human beings require the most to live is hope. Secondly, I was inspired by the President noting that there is need to listen. He walked the talk. It is through him listening to Kenyans that the Adani deals are now out of our way. If he was not a listening president, those deals would still be in our way. It is through education that we can uplift our economy and our well-being. When the Kenya Kwanza Coalition came to power, the first thing it did was to employ 56,000 teachers. To instil hope in Kenyans, the President reminded us that the Government will employ another 20,000 teachers to improve the standards of education. That is the hope that we need in this country. Kenya is a developing country, and we have industries coming up. The President gave a lot of weight to Technical and Vocation Education Training (TVET) institutions. Our industries cannot work if we do not build the capacity of TVET institutions. There is a government policy of facilitating one TVET college in every constituency. The President mentioned the new budget and said that TVETs in all the constituencies will be facilitated to produce good teams that can work both within and outside the country. It is good to note that Kenya is sending many young people abroad. The President mentioned several bilateral labour migration agreements through which we can have good engagements with other countries, enabling Kenyans to improve their standards of living as well as the welfare of their people through overseas remittances. He also mentioned about improving the rate of remittances from those working outside the country. Health is a crucial sector we cannot gamble with. The President spoke about the new universal healthcare scheme, which we must adhere to in order to improve our health, especially for those who are unemployed. My advice to fellow Kenyans is that they should register first. They can comment on the scheme once they have registered. Those who have not registered should not talk about it because one cannot benefit from the scheme without being registered. The registration strategy is in place for people to register, and then other things will follow. The President also talked about Information and Communication Technology (ICT). We are in the world of ICT, and the Government is committed to establishing ICT hubs. In"

"content": "Ruiru, we have two ICT hubs. Last Tuesday, about 150 candidates graduated, and they can now work for companies based abroad while they are still in Kenya. We should also commend the President because he mentioned Gender-Based Violence, which is a critical issue. If this issue is not looked into, it may destabilise the country. Since the President talked about it, and we continue to support him on the same; I believe we will live well in this country. I know many things will be said but if they are not acted on, it will be an exercise in futility. Therefore, let us concentrate and stick to what we were told - work on those issues, and all will be well for Kenyans. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
