    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to join my colleagues to congratulate you and Hon. Speaker for being given the opportunity to serve this honourable House. I thank my constituents of Kesses that saw an opportunity to have me sit in this House and prosecute matters that touch on their livelihoods. I believe that all of you know that whenever you mention Kesses, of course, something comes to your mind. It was not that simple, but I thank God that I made it to this House. The President’s Speech is one that was delivered in a very short time and yet, it carries weighty matters that touch on Kenyans. The President said and I quote: “I have news, and not very good news!” Indeed, this was a Speech that was made with openness, without fear and without hiding any issues that touch on Kenyans’ lives. It is a matter of fact that we must admit even in this House that Kenyans are facing very difficult times now. The cost of living is on the higher side. The debts that have been soiling our Kenyan economy are a reality. This Speech brings all our minds together to appreciate that we have a big role in this House to support the Government in transforming the economic lives of our people, so as to have a Kenya that we dreamt to have. Kenyans at the lower base shall enjoy the dream of being citizens of this country."
