"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to the debate on the Speech that was given by the President during the national address. It was well articulated. The President spoke to his people. He also addressed us leaders who are working with him in this nation. One thing that was clear is that the President was passionate as he was addressing the nation. He confirmed that he has been walking with the nation. He also confirmed that he is hands-on and he is a listening President. As he was speaking, he addressed national values, principles of governance and the country’s progress on its international obligations. Many States of the Nation Addresses have been done. From when he was elected, he has made a few other addresses. But this address was unique. The President touched on different areas in his Speech. He captured very well the rapid change that our nation has gone through since he delivered his last national address. That confirmed that he is concerned with our progress. After every national address, the President knows the activities that need to be done and the projects that need to be accomplished before his next address. He knows every activity, challenge and progress that the country goes through. One important thing that he mentioned, as I said, was that he has improved his listening skills and he is listening to the people. Many times, he has been criticised for not listening to what is said on the ground. From this speech, it is quite clear that our President is not walking alone. He is walking with his people. He is ready to listen. Different actions have been taken based on the different challenges that we went through. A listening President is a gift to the nation. Many people suffer because they have no one to listen to them. Many people suffer because nobody is ready to give them time and reason with them. The fact that our President has confirmed that he is listening to us confirms that he will be able to promote the trust between him and us, as leaders, and between him and the citizens. It also confirms that communication is built and will be perfected. It also confirms that, as a result, there will be a healthy working environment. This is what Kenyans need. Because of the tough and rough time that we have gone through, the nation has suffered. If we have a listening President, then we are on the right track. On the issue of gender-based violence (GBV), girls and women in this nation have suffered. Even those in politics have suffered in a way. Our President passionately addressed that issue in his address to the nation. Now that we are in the 16-days campaign against GBV, we need to speak about it and condemn it. We also plead with the police and all human rights and other concerned organisations to take proper measures against anybody…"

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Motion on the State of the Nation Address that was made by the President. In accordance with Article 132(1)(c), the President is required every year to lay before the House a report on all measures taken, and progress made towards realisation of national values and principles of governance, international obligations as well as on the state of national security. At the outset, the President painted a broad picture of a positive outlook of our country on account of right decisions that the Kenyan Kwanza Government has made, him being the leader of the Government. In the overview, it is common knowledge to everyone that all macro- economic indicators are positive. Take the easy ones, for instance. In 2022, when we came into leadership, the Kenya Shilling exchange rate to the US Dollar was at about Ksh160. Currently, it stands at about Ksh130. It shows clearly that there are positive gains in that regard. There were a lot of complaints during that time about the high cost of living. Importation of goods was extremely expensive and that scenario had a negative ripple effect on the local market. Over time, we have seen a decrease in the inflation rate from 9.6 per cent to 2.7 per cent largely because of the prevailing favourable climatic conditions and right public policies that have been implemented, including the policy on fertilizer subsidy. The subsidy has led to an increase in maize production in our country. In 2022, about 34 million bags of maize were produced. In 2023, we produced 47 million bags. Expectations for 2024 stand at 74 million bags. A society that has food is able to have productive communities. We note that the sugar industry was on a downward trend during that period. There are now 17 factories that are up and running, with four being refurbished. Kenya has always been an importer of sugar, but the production has since exceeded our current need of 40,000 metric tonnes. We now produce 84,000 metric tonnes. These are very positive indicators of the right decisions that the President has made in the last few years. We are now seeing the results. This also disproves the naysayers. The macro-economic indicators show that foreign reserve now stands at Ksh9.5 billion. In the last 10 years, we have had about 4.5 to 4 months reserve cover. This means that investors are assured of meeting their US Dollar requirement locally. This is a challenge that we faced when we came to power. It was a very serious issue then. Financial institutions have since been reducing the interest rates that are charged on commercial loans. What does that mean? It means that you can access capital cheaply to do businesses within the country. This is a positive indicator worth mentioning and celebrating. I come from a region where we have lately embraced coffee and dairy farming. I was very impressed…"
