    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The President came to this House yesterday in accordance with the Constitution and, more specifically, Article 132(1)(b). These are the fruits of the 2010 Constitution. As a former Leader of the Majority Party, I wish to state that there is absolutely no doubt that the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta, in which I played a very key role, has had many enormous achievements, especially in the infrastructure and energy sectors, as well as Universal Health Care (UHC) in terms of free maternity. It also made sure that for the first time, since 2013, heavy investments have been made in our security sector. That is why Kenya is safer today than when President Uhuru Kenyatta took over. There have been investments in our intelligence and the equipment used by our security forces, the military, the Kenya Defence Forces and many others. When President Kibaki left in 2013, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) was collecting Kshs967 billion. When President Moi left office, they were collecting Kshs200 billion annually. I am sure that in 2020, the KRA has collected Kshs1.7 trillion. So, the achievements and footprints of this Government are found in each and every village in Kenya. Whether it is connectivity to electricity or water, that is not disputed. As the Legislature, we must say what the Government has done and what it has not. I would like to remind this House that when President Moi left, the annual collection was Kshs200 billion, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at that time was Kshs1 trillion, and the debt that he left us was The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
