    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, kindly direct that the Senator for Kitui County be heard in silence. I rise to make my comments on the State of the Nation Address by the President that took place on Thursday, 12th November 2020 during the Joint Sitting of the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. I would like to begin by stating that the Speech by the President of Kenya is a rare mirror view of where we have come from and a call to action, going forward. Listening to the Speech by the President, it was refreshing for me to hear the Head of State declare that our homeland is properly secured and that our borders are protected and safe. I am not sure about the President’s comments on the strength of our economy. The truth of the matter is that, business people across this country and in all sectors of the economy are complaining and crying out for reprieve. A way must be found to boost our economy and especially to support our farmers who feed this nation. Supporting our farmers is important and critical because with a wide-scale collapse of businesses and without sufficient food to feed this nation, the security and safety of our homeland and borders cannot be guaranteed."
