    "content": "Before the interruption, I was alluding to the fact that the President has given us a guarantee to the rule of law. I am sure the element of corruption has been captured in his Speech. I come from a constituency that practices agriculture. I thank you for coming to my constituency during the campaign time. You are the second Speaker to come to my constituency. Food security is a key aspect in our community. I want to bring to the attention of this House that it has not rained for the last four years after the handshake was held between the two brothers. It is like they brought a curse to the rain. When the President was giving his Speech, that is the day it started raining. Imagine four years without rain and now we have no food! I thank the President for ensuring that the theme of his hustler movement in the agricultural sector is to increase productivity. I am so happy to see the prices of fertilizer being reduced to an affordable rate. The amount of fertilizer is however not enough. I ask the President to ensure that he increases the volumes because my constituency alone requires 100,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer. I thank the President because he has committed himself to ensure farming advisory services are extended to our farmers. Agriculture cannot be what it is and if we want to reach the level that he wants us to be, we should have water. I thank the President because of his effort to bring in and encourage public private partnership in mobilization of resources such as water. That is because the country at large needs water. I thank the President for thinking in that direction. If private investors are encouraged to join hands with the Government, we will have companies coming up to dig dams and boreholes which would help in supplementing the input of water in agriculture. I grew up in the insurance sector. It is my area of business. I kept saying that the NHIF needs to be restructured. I am so happy because the President said so to the effect that it becomes a universal healthcare. The President said that the tax regime is very discriminative. Indeed, it is. Through his administration, I am sure that the tax regime would be brought back to where Kenyans can afford and it should not be discriminative.
