    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, of particular interest is the President’s confirmation that the Government will re-introduce the Judicial Service Bill. This has been something that Kenyans have been agitating for, for a long time. If re-introduced and passed, it will give us judicial reforms and independence of the Judiciary that we have been looking for. I also support the President’s proposal to repeal the current Local Government Act. What is witnessed during election of mayors and chairmen of councils is nothing short of comedy where the mayors are elected because they are able to take councillors to resorts. So, they do not have the people’s mandate. I also support replacement of Companies with the proposed Companies Bill. Currently, what we have is not friendly to the business community. I also want to add my voice in support of the President’s direction to the line Ministries that they consider production of powdered milk. This country has become a nation of contradiction. One minute we are starving, our children are dying of malnutrion and the next minute, we have rivers of milk flowing through this country. So, I support, not just the inclusion of powdered milk into our food reserve, but also other stable food produced in this country. Having supported the President’s Speech to a large extent, I beg to differ with him on a few issues contained in his Speech. The world is becoming a global village. We, as a global village, are concerned in what happens in other nations and other nations are also concerned about what happens in Kenya."
