    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of Narok South, I rise to comment on the President’s maiden State of the Nation Address that he recently delivered at Parliament Buildings on the Government’s interventions to fix the current high cost of living and address other economic issues currently affecting Kenyans. We must live within our means as a country and address our economic issues without false comfort. I agree with the President that the new direction that we are taking might not be easy, but it will eventually work, and it is necessary. The enactment of the Primary Health Care Act, the Social Health Insurance Act, the Digital Health Act, and the Facilities Improvement Financing Act will anchor and guide implementation of the bottom-up economic agenda championed by the Kenya Kwanza Government as a crucial step to achieve universal healthcare for all. The Kenya Kwanza Government, led by our able President William Ruto, has created new jobs for the youth to eradicate poverty and address challenges currently facing ordinary Kenyans. For instance, the recent employment of 56,750 new teachers and re-training of 8,200 primary school teachers to equip them with the capacity to effectively deliver learning and teaching in junior secondary schools has tremendously helped to address unemployment rates in every constituency in this country, including Narok South, which I represent. It has made significant strides towards ensuring every part of this country is economically empowered. The housing plan initiated by this Government has received support from the county governments as indicated by the President. So, it is in the right direction. The housing programme will stimulate and improve the economy of Kenya by rapidly creating jobs for the many unemployed Kenyans and boost businesses of hustlers. Kenyans will get decent homes. Finally, the implementation of the housing project will create markets for our manufacturing companies that deal in cement and timber. There will be jobs for the youth."
