    "content": "The President said that he had a substantial report to give on the progress made in fulfilling his solemn covenant. I was in Parliament to get the gist of what he was coming to do. He was supposed to take us through the measures taken by his Government, under his leadership, to give full expression and effect to the soul of our constitutional dispensation. He gave a very detailed Speech, which was just about his policies. His detailed Speech touched on his vision and dream. However, I expected the President to give us a scorecard of his achievements one year after taking office. What has he achieved in terms of employment from 13th September 2022, when he was sworn into office, to 9th October 2023, when he gave his Speech? How many youths has he employed? Are there numbers that can be substantiated? Hon. Temporary Speaker, in terms of infrastructure, because his Government is still in the vision, mission and the dreaming part of it, I expected the President to give a report of the evaluation and monitoring of the works that they have undertaken in the last one year. These are some of his policies and I am sure he was not just speaking to us but also to other constituencies. How many kilometres of road has been tarmacked in Kibwezi East? Those are the ones that he really knows because he has been in the Government for long. How many kilometres of road have been tarmacked in Mukurweini, Kajiado and other places? That is the scorecard that we expected. The common mwananchi was listening to us as the representatives of the people."
