    "content": "itself, they have found solace in visiting Kenyans who live in the informal settlements. Of course, many of them live there because of the challenges of life. Perhaps even on a Monday afternoon, you will find them at home because of lack of a working opportunity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have affordable housing as a key pillar under the manifesto of the Kenya Kwanza administration. One of the programmes that we are implementing is to ensure that subsequently over the years, we shall be able to get rid of Kenyans living in the kind of informal settlements in almost each of our major towns. Previously, it was not ordinary to find slums – as they are referred to – in other parts of the country apart from Nairobi and Nakuru. However, you will agree with me that almost every county of this country now has a slum. That is not what we fought hard for when we were thinking about this Constitution. It is a constitutionally guaranteed right for Kenyans to live in decent housing. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, there is freedom from hunger. Reading through this economic and social right, I see the economic blueprint of this administration. We took time to draft solely for the people of Kenya. No wonder, the people of Kenya agreed with President William Ruto. Having listened to all the presidential candidates, President William Ruto was the only one who at least had a clue of what needed to be done in this country despite all the odds that were stacked against him."
