    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the President’s Address yesterday. He scored an A in terms of legacy, especially on infrastructure. He has constructed 10,500 kilometres of roads. Everybody who has eyes knows that in every constituency in this country there have been new tarmac roads. There are lot of ongoing projects, including the Nairobi Expressway and Waiyaki Way. In Narok, we have benefitted from new 350 kilometres of tarmac, including the Narok-Maasai Mara road which is 89 kilometres. In terms of electricity connectivity, in the past it was only the area Member of Parliament and a few friends and those who were known by the District Commissioner (DC) who could get electricity. Now, we have been connected to electricity even in our Manyatta. If you talk of fighting for hustlers, electricity connectivity is one of the ways to do that. Even if you have a stone house, you will enjoy electricity services just like that person in a Manyatta because we are all Kenyans and Kenya belongs to all of us and not to a few individuals. We are witnesses to the issue of free maternity. If we could have heard from the many Members of the female gender, they would have witnessed. Free education, medical equipment in our county referral hospital including renal dialysis machines and others is a taste that the President have worked and secured his legacy. As to devolution, that is an increase from 15 to 32 per cent. I was among those who negotiated with the Senate, and I am sure it has been achieved. The President also mentioned the Ewaso Nyiro Tannery. We produce 3 million hides annually as pastoralists and most of it go to waste, thanks to Ewaso Nyiro tannery where we are also producing shoes. This country imports 25 million pair of shoes annually. We need to up that game so that we can have ternaries in every pastoral county. The President’s legacy is so rich that he even forgot a few. I did not hear him mention the issue of TVETs which we currently have more than 200.
