    "content": "On the issue of housing, I would like to thank the President since this agenda is on top of his priorities. Every Kenyan should have access to affordable housing. We will start with Migori County, so that they can see how the Government is working. People like Sen. Oketch Gicheru are good friends of mine. He is a fine gentleman and an academic par excellence. When they hear about development, they become allergic to it. We will ensure that we have affordable housing. We are having a conversation as equals in this House. When you look at Article 43(3), it states that- “The State shall provide appropriate social security to persons who are unable to support themselves and their dependants.” The state in itself has an obligation. That is why the President is pushing for affordable housing. We have told the President that it should not only be done in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, Mombasa and other major towns. It should also be done in other areas as well. Even in Ikolomani Constituency, we must have affordable housing there."
