    "content": "Secondly, on matters education, I would like to commend the Government especially when the President said that they were able to provide student text books to the ratio of 1 to 1 especially from Grade One to Grade Three. That will go a long way in addressing some of the challenges in our public schools. However, I just want to be fair by mentioning these issues. The other positive issue that I want to talk about is what the President talked about, the ease of doing business global ranking report that placed Kenya at position 56 out of 189. That is very commendable. However, I expected the President to address quite a lot especially this time when we are going through a difficult time. I expected the Presidents’ Speech to talk specifically on austerity measures to address the depressed economy. Even as this House, Members can agree with me that we are suffering. Our staff have not been paid. Those of us who come from interior parts of this country, those far-flung areas, have not even been able to service our vehicles because we cannot even get the small entitlement that we always get. The country is bleeding. I was in my constituency over the weekend and I visited a family that had not cooked for four days. Therefore, we expected the President to tell us exactly what will happen to this country."
