    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. From the onset, I want to say that the President’s Speech was very underwhelming. It should have be short and inspirational. It is very unfortunate and the drafters of the President’s Speech should avoid repetitiveness of issues. One of the issues that the President spoke on was on the COVID-19 pandemic. It is becoming serious and many people are dying. As a country, we must build a consensus on how we can move forward to ensure that it does not continue ravaging. Madam Deputy Speaker, my concern is on the Kshs60 billion Universal Health Cover (UHC). “There is nothing to smile about” as Morgan Heritage said in his reggae song. Even in Nyeri County, the UHC has come to end. I am wondering when you talk about UHC when mothers and elderly people have walked to hospitals in Nyeri County, but they cannot get services, yet the President was telling the country that UHC would resolve these issues under Article 43. Regarding this Kshs60 billion up to now medical doctors and frontline workers are dying yet the risk allowance has never been paid to them. We would have expected the President to tell the country where is the promise of risk allowance payment to frontline workers, especially the nurses and doctors who are dying daily because of COVID-19. The President talked about 250,000 desks and the school calendar. This is the business of the Cabinet Secretary in charge of education. We did not expect the President"
