Many lives are lost in that part of the country. The President ought to have elaborated on the issue of insecurity. There are many things happening even in Laikipia County. We have witnessed many livestock killings in Laikipia. I think the President ought to have, at least, said something about that. Some parts of Kenya are seriously affected by drought.

On the issue of health, there are some parts of this country where people are not getting health services. What I heard from the speech of the President is that some parts of this country The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
