    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to talk about the President’s Address. I was not in the House when the President delivered his Address to the nation. I was out of the country. However, being part of the Kenya Kwanza Government, I know whatever the President said is in line with what he promised Kenyans. As a staunch supporter of Kenya Kwanza Government, I support the issues he said. On the deliverables that I have seen, especially on education, the highest number of teachers has been employed since we got Independence. The reduction of the price of fertilizer from Ksh6,500 to Ksh2,500 tells me that Kenyans will have food security and employment. We know that agriculture is one big employer. As it has been said on the CBC, some of us did not understand what it was. However, when the President took office, he restructured it to our understanding and now we know that its benefit is to address the talent of students. The challenges that we got from COVID-19 and drought have taught us many lessons. On Monday, we had a public holiday to plant trees. The President talked about the environment and climate change. I want to thank him for giving us that day for tree planting. We saw everybody out on that day planting trees. That tells us that we are addressing the climate change challenge and we will have more forest cover. That is what the President was talking about. On economy, yes, it has not picked up but we are optimistic that, that will happen. We need to give the Government a little more time. My biggest worry is corruption. There has to be a splendid way of addressing corruption because this is something that has not come out The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
