    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important speech by the President of the Republic of Kenya. This is just like when footballers are in the field; it is very easy for spectators to criticise and say everything about the players, but unable to show that they can play when inside the field. The President has tried. In his speech, he mentioned too many things that are good for our country. If these ICT hubs are built all over the country, they will help Kenya to become digital, and our children will even be able to search for jobs outside the country. The President took over this country when it was completely down; the economy of this country was in the ICU. Many of us, including me as a Member of Parliament, thought that we will not be receiving our salaries. This is because our economy was completely down at that time. The President is trying to improve the economy of this country. He touched on many aspects that made us feel happy. The President is, indeed, trying. As leaders and Members of Parliament, for example, we need to be patriotic to our country whether one is in the Minority Party or the Majority Party. This country is ours. It belongs to all Kenyans. There is nowhere else we can go. Some people even went abroad and came back. Kenya is here to stay. As Kenyans, we need to support the Government of William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua because it was voted in by us Kenyans. What we need to do is to give this Government time and support because it is barely one year in office. Things are changing. Things are going to change. The President talked about the Office of the Inspector-General of Police being independent from the Office of the President. Police officers were not being managed well by the Office of the President. Being independent, I am sure that police officers out there are feeling good that the Inspector-General is going to take care of them.
