    "content": "we had the crisis of Covid-19, is great. A lot of money was pumped into our counties so that they could improve healthcare. Yes, he did talk about 300 hospital beds in every county, but we know there are many county governments that got the money but did not do anything. At least he can say what he was able to do to save his countrymen and women during the crisis. On education, as recent as last month, he was able to pump in Kshs8 billion for expansion of classrooms in secondary schools to mitigate against the 100 per cent transition policy. There are so many things that he has been able to do but because of the noise in the country, we were not able to appreciate what he has done. His standing here to tell us what he has done is a reminder to us to reflect on what we have done ourselves. What will our constituents say is our scorecard, even as we sit here and say all these things about the President? Our constituents will judge us on what we have been able to do. I want to appreciate him again: Thank you so much Mr. President. Challenges are there. Each one of us faces challenges but I was happy when I heard you talk about the regrets on the BBI. You felt Kenyans would have gained from BBI, which was a result of the ‘handshake’ and conversation with your partner Raila Amolo Odinga. Allocation of more resources to county governments—we lost that. Gender parity—we lost that. Expansion of the Presidency so that people do not fight for resources—we lost that too but at least he gave us hope that all is not lost. Thank you very much. I support."
