    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion to record thanks for the President’s State of the Nation Address. The truth be said, the President recognised and elucidated very clearly the challenges the nation is facing. He also came out with clear responses some of which results have been seen. He covered the areas of challenges of COVID-19 pandemic, the state of devolution with increased funding, infrastructure, manufacturing, improvement of health, reviving of the dead assets which he referred to as dead capital, Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), Meter Gauge Railways (MGR) in Kisumu and Nanyuki, ports, tunnel in Athi River and marine processing in Mombasa. He also clearly elucidated the Big Four: Infrastructure, roads, ports, focus on Universal Health Coverage (UHC), manufacturing and housing. He also looked at the connectivity within Africa by putting in place structures that will facilitate the movement of people and goods across the continent. This is extremely important, like the Mombasa-Bagamoyo Road, the road to North Eastern areas connecting with Ethiopia and Central African countries that are landlocked. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will focus on two points. One, is the challenge of COVID-19. I must appreciate how this country handled the dilemma we are faced with of either having lockdowns, other containment measures and hurting the economy severely or keeping it The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
