    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on the President’s Speech. I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your election as the Speaker of this House. I also take this opportunity to thank the people of Seme for electing me for the third time. This is a great honour and privilege. I do not take it for granted. I listened to the President’s Speech; it is the shortest President’s Address to Parliament that I have listened to in the last 10 years. It is a fairly good summary of the President’s manifesto and what he said during his campaigns. It was rather lacking in strategy; I believe that that will come later as we go into the details. It was basically a good summary. The 52 paragraphs actually covered everything he said during his campaigns. He commented on the affirmative action in Parliament, where more women have been elected, the re-election of many Members, and serving all Kenyans regardless of how they voted. He talked of the role of CSs in our oversight role and them coming to Parliament. He talked of support for the Judiciary; investing in enablers of the economy, particularly infrastructure; and increased agricultural productivity, support for small traders like the youth,"
