    "content": "him for that. I personally congratulate him. I also want to comment on the issue of affordable housing. I personally visited Pangani and the project is amazing. If this project was in Lungalunga Town, the people would be happy seeing it, leave alone staying in the houses. I want to mention something about NG-CDF. My colleagues have said that parents are calling them requesting for school fees. Surely, students have hope. We are the people to conclude this issue. I urge my colleagues to expedite the process so that we put the matter to rest for the people of Kenya to enjoy. Education in Kenya is very expensive. Apart from crying about bursaries, we need to do something about the cost of education in Kenya. Taking a student to Form One is a nightmare. The requirements are so enormous that even school fees is lower. I do not see a correlation between a school uniform and the content taught by teachers. These are some of the issues that we should look at. I applause the resumption of port services in Mombasa. I cannot avoid mentioning this. The economy of the Coast region has come back to life. The region has the potential to have as many ports as possible. There is also Lamu Port. There is another port to be established in Shimoni. I wish to request concerned parties to make sure that the process is started to make sure that we have a third port for our people to enjoy, have employment and run businesses. I will follow up the process. On the issue of agriculture, the President already acted with respect to fertiliser subsidies. In Lungalunga, we do mango farming. It also needs to be considered. If we invest in the mango farming, I want to assure this honourable House that the economy of that area will grow and we will have very sweet mangoes from that part of the world. Lungalunga is a constituency with all characteristics. We have seashores. Around Zombo Ward, we practise agriculture – that is where mangoes are in plenty. On the other side where elephants terrorise residents is semi-arid and getting water is a problem. I thank His Excellency the President for saying that he will use all means possible to ensure that water is provided to our people. Electricity connection is another issue that needs to be addressed by this Government. There are so many transformers that do not work. As we talk about all these issues, relevant authorities need to up their game so that we provide power to the people. Infrastructure in terms of roads is also an issue. We thank His Excellency the President. He has supported us. Three roads have been constructed, but a bigger part of Lungalunga needs to be considered for good roads network. We assure His Excellency the President that we will present a memo to him, if he so allows, so that he can support us in this venture. Without much ado, I wish to thank you, Hon. Speaker."
