    "content": "I cannot finish my speech without talking about the expectations of Kenyans on our Government. We cannot say much than what we have said that every Kenyan is expectant and the only message we have for the country is let us be patient. Let us repay the debts and let us see money growing so that we move to development. My constituency, Tharaka, is equally expectant. It is important to point out that being a marginalised area in the eastern region, we have high expectations. The roads are not good. We are experiencing El-Nino . The blame is on the Government. The blame is on me as their Member of Parliament that the Government is not going down to work on those roads. We really have to inform the Government. As soon as the rains subside, let us move down to the entire country, fix our road network so that our citizens can enjoy communication. Electricity supply is in short supply in Tharaka and everywhere else in the country. We have to improve connection to the national grid, Tharaka topping this. Like now we should be harvesting water. There is a lot of water that is draining into the Indian Ocean. In another one year, we shall be crying when drought comes. It is high time we put into place means and ways of harvesting water that will be used in North Eastern Kenya, in my region with the constituents of Tharaka and water that will be used everywhere else it is needed. For my constituency, I call upon the Government for affirmative action in the matters of development. Tharaka is marginalised, arid and semi-arid and therefore requires to be considered in a totally different perspective."
