    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I am delighted that I have a chance to support the Speech that the President gave yesterday. He managed to deliver all what that people are talking about despite the challenges that we have had as a country following the Covid-19 pandemic. We have also been politicking from the time we were elected up to date. As a human being, he really tried what was within his means. As Kenyans, we are proud of him. I am also proud of him as my President. We pray that whoever comes after him will pick up from there and even do more. By the help of God, the President worked hard to hold this country together by accepting to have a “handshake”, which many people were not happy about. People read a sinister motive but eventually, it became beneficial to this country. It is something that people will refer to in the future. It should serve as a precedence so that future presidents do not become selfish and think that it is not easy to get another person to work with despite the fact that you are the president. The BBI would have solved our problems if we had passed it. Our Constitution provides for a take-all president. It becomes challenging because the other part will be having the other half of the country. It is important that we re-look into this matter and abandon our selfish way of thinking. The health sector has really improved. The pandemic contributed a lot to the increased ICU bed capacity in hospitals. We have seen a lot of change in the health sector. The number of health facilities has increased and we are happy. We pray that the county governments continue to maintain the standards of the facilities that have been established by the national Government. The pandemic affected the economy and many other things. We also lost many people. Many people are crying left, right and centre because of what happened. Despite all those challenges, the president did his part. He managed to control the effects of the pandemic within his means. It became a serious economic challenge but we were able to go through it and we are happy. We thank God, so far so good. Kenyans have been vaccinated.
