    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not know whether they are doing that because I am the one speaking. I just want to continue by saying that I thank the President for his Speech, his belief in very few, simple but important things to the Kenyan people. The transformation of agriculture, the achievement and implementation of the universal healthcare and the housing programme are all being conceived within Article 43 of our Constitution. Article 43 on economic and social rights is so critical and forms part of the centrality of our Constitution. We have not done well in the last 10 years in terms of actualising this particular Article in our Constitution. I thank the President for his commitment to ensuring that Article 43 of our Constitution is achieved and is made alive and true to the citizens of the Republic of Kenya. I also thank the President for his Speech on the issue of having the Cabinet Secretaries appear before Parliament and answer questions directly. Concerns are raised by the Members, but we have a presidential system where we have never had absolute democracy. Therefore, we need the Cabinet Secretaries to appear before us so that they can conclusively answer the questions raised by the Members of Parliament and speak to Kenyans directly. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity. 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."
