    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the seventh President’s State of the Nation Address. I want to laud the actions he has taken to drive this country forward. In particular, I want to recognise the achievements in terms of ease of doing business in this country which we need. I want to laud his record on infrastructure expansion and the measures he has taken to ensure that, at least, there is security and peace in the country. Generally, these are the fundamentals that we need to do business in this country and to grow and move forward. I want to take note that the President admitted that corruption is pulling his speed down on his resolve to deal with matters corruption. I appreciate that the President alone cannot fight corruption. It is a duty for all leaders. It is a duty of all Kenyan citizens to fight corruption because it is one of the biggest pandemics that is facing this county. We cannot go far and we cannot do much without eliminating corruption. In terms of the conditions for doing business, I would like to appeal to our President to constitute his team that can be walking around to see how to revive the economy that has been highly ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic. We get a little worried when we read the newspapers and see that power costs in this country will be going up. If power goes up during difficult times like this, are we going to be competitive in terms of business and compete with other producers in the world? We also need to improve our port services. We need to have seamless services at our ports of entry to ensure that our business communities that are doing imports are able to do their business without losing. Also, as we move forward, this country requires major stock-ups, so that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
