    "content": "issues are glaring at Kenyans today that those who had expectations would have wished that the president addressed the nation on them. I will mention only two or three issues. On the matter of the cost of living, I said I would find a way of navigating the issue of the fertilizer because you are yet to make a ruling on it. Allow me to say that the mention of the subsidy to fertilizer from Kshs6,500 to 2,500 even if this were true, is too little at a time like this to be the only thing that the President of a Republic mentions when it comes to addressing the issues of the cost of living. I have said many times that there are Kenyans who do not use fertilizer to grow crops. People who do not use fertilizers to keep their animals and poultry. If the only serious matter that the President could speak about on bringing down the cost of living was the issue of fertilizer, then it is too little to talk about. I would have said a few other things about it. However, since I am awaiting your ruling, I will stop there. However, I will remind the President and this administration that the cost of living is a serious issue. As I comment on the Address of the President, millions of Kenyans are unable to make ends meet or place a meal on the table for their children. Millions of students in this country are confused. We have students in our universities who are not able to sit for their exams because there is confusion about the system we are using and the system of funding for university education. These are issues that would have attracted the attention of the President and gotten a bridal place in his speech. On the issue of inclusivity as required in Article 10 of the Constitution. I say this with a lot of seriousness. A few months ago, we concluded the recruitment of service men and women."
