    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion on the Presidential Address to both Houses of Parliament. I heard Sen. Osotsi say that the President did not expound on the bottom-up economic model that the ‘Hustler Movement’ has been talking about to mwananchi. I thought it is good to inform Sen. Osotsi, now the Senator for Vihiga whom we also served together in the National Assembly, that the Presidents’ Speech was full of bottom-up tenets that we sold to all Kenyans who bought the ideas and elected Dr. William Samoei Ruto as the President of the Republic of Kenya. I am going to talk about a few of what the ‘Hustler leadership’ promised Kenyans because I do not want to go through the entire Speech. We have some low-hanging fruits that have already been implemented and Kenyans are already benefiting. We have cheap fertiliser that the President talked about. The first thing he did when he got into office was to lower the prices of fertiliser. By the time we were campaigning, a 50-kilogramme bag was around Kshs6,500. Now, a sack is going for Kshs3,500. That is one of the many components of the bottom-up economic model because we want productivity. The President also emphasised on agricultural productivity. That includes livestock and fishing farming in this country instead of just having subsidies on foodstuffs. I believe we are moving in the right direction now that the President started acting immediately, he got into office. Hopefully, when we get into the rainy season, productivity will improve in this country, in all sectors, whether it is in fishing, farming or the pastoralist communities."
