    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this glorious opportunity to discuss the Speech of the President. Allow me to thank His Excellency the President for the honour and respect he accorded this House. At the outset of his first statement, he referred to this House as a distinguished assembly of democratically elected representatives of the people of Kenya. I thank His Excellency for that reference and respect to this House. The President talked about transforming this country for present and future generations, despite the three primary challenges that he outlined. They are external shocks, fiscal distress and external imbalances. The President emphasised his commitment to improve the economy of this country. He also expressed his commitment to stop and reverse the negative trends of unemployment. This has been demonstrated by the rolling out of the housing project across the country. He also talked about tackling the poverty that is denying Kenyans their dignity in this country. The President assured Kenyans of his commitment to bringing the national values and principles of governance to his leadership. This is expected to improve the well-being of Kenyans, promote unity and security, and bring development across the country. He also recognised leaders who have undertaken the process of the bi-partisan national dialogue. He said that those leaders are expected to come up with a common ground that is expected to deepen our democracy and enhance unity in our country."
