    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. It is unfortunate the Member of Parliament for Yata is not around. When he started speaking, he said that the President's Speech was long, boring and that some of the Members were sleeping. From his contribution, I think he is one of those Members who were sleeping and did not listen to the Speech when it was done. It was alluded to the fact that the President never spoke about the cost of living. If you look at the Speech of the President, he said, for those who cared to listen, that the cost of living is something that has to come down gradually through a process of some intervention. One of those interventions is about the fertiliser insurance that has successfully been done in this country. The success of harvest which is double or triple harvest has been witnessed this year. At the same time, he also mentioned that out of that bumper harvest, the cost of maize flour in some shops has dropped significantly to up to Ksh150. It is important we look at the Speech of the President objectively. Regarding the creation of jobs, more than 50,000 housing units, which have already been constructed and occupied, a record of over 100,000 youths of different expertise, be it plumbers, masons, painters and the like, have been engaged in this very important sector of affordable housing. Over and above that, a commitment that the President has said that ownership of shelter as indicated in our Constitution is something that he has to address.
