    "content": "oppose and say no to everything being done. I take this opportunity, as Member of Parliament for Kitui South, to congratulate the President for the first one year. From where he started and the situation that the country was in, thus far, he has managed to push the country. The President spoke about matters ranging from health, security, agriculture to everything that pertains this country, in only one hour and six minutes. On matters that touch on my constituency directly, I will start with the issue of employment of teachers. I thank the President because teachers have been employed in my constituency, both in primary and secondary schools. Teachers were employed in schools in Ikutha and Mutomo wards, Kitui South Sub-County. Teachers were also recruited in the newly registered junior secondary schools. I would like to appeal that when another opportunity arises, whether for teachers being employed on permanent or part-time basis, my constituency is considered. I welcome the employment of all teachers in my constituency on whatever basis. This is because my constituency, just like many other constituencies in rural areas, is highly understaffed. I will also touch on the matter of reduction of the cost of fertiliser. We are aware that about a year ago, fertiliser in this country cost Ksh6,500, but the cost has now gone down to Ksh2,500, courtesy of the President. This is a reduction of Ksh4,000. I also want to congratulate the President because of working in collaboration with counties. This is because previously, farmers purchased fertilisers for themselves but this time round, the Government is purchasing and the President is using county governments to distribute. With the current rains, we look forward to increased production of maize especially in Kitui County."
