    "content": "Even us, both Majority and Minority sides, please, find time to read our Manifesto. I have seen people commenting on issues when they have not read it. The plan is very clear; it is about the people. On the implementation of the issue of fishing landing sites, we need to ensure that there are fishing landing sites like in Nyanza and Coast regions. These are areas that voted against William Ruto in the 2022 General Election. These are the areas that the President has not in any way discriminated in terms of development. On post-harvest, when you to Nyandarua County, we normally lose--- Even in my county, we have a lot of milk. When there is ndengu from Machakos or Kitui counties or potatoes from Nyandarua County and other areas, we want to ensure--- On the issue of the Hustler Fund, I encourage Kenyans to use this revolution and for all of us, we must be ready as a country to use the Hustler Fund and save for ourselves. On the issue of NHIF, we agree with the President that the reforms in the NHIF sector or Universal Health Coverage (UHC) should be taken at topnotch. I thank the President for Community Health Promoters (CHP). Apart from food, the next highest spending item of any family is on the issue of health care. Now you will have a health promoter come to your house and they ensure they check you, so that you are able to live a good life. There is a famous singer. I am forgetting the name of who sang “Imagine if Things were this good.” That is a Reggae song for those people who like listening to Reggae. They can agree that imagine good things will be with Kenya's Kwanza Government led by William Ruto. Regarding transforming education, because I can see my time is up, let us continue transforming education. We want to see the Curriculum Based Programme (CBC) being quickly addressed. I want to thank Prof. Kithure Kindiki. For the information of the House, the Ministry of Interior and National Administration led by Prof. Kindiki has revoked licenses on charges on identity cards, birth certificates, death certificates, people who went and got married outside the country and come with their children, these things have continued to be reviewed going into the future. I want to thank the Ministry of Interior and National Administration for revoking that Gazette Notice so that the ordinary Kenyans can get services at an affordable rates. You know, you cannot levy tax without public participation and parliamentary approval. I agree with Prof. Kindiki that public participation should be done going into the future. I ask Kenyans to give President William Ruto time. In the next year, this country will be a land like Canaan; the land of honey and milk where every Kenyan will be able to afford a decent meal and take their children to school. I want to appeal to Cabinet Secretaries and senior Government officials: Let them stop doing politics. The President has given them the opportunity to serve the nation. Let them do so. Politics is for politicians. If you are a Cabinet Secretary or senior civil servant, stick to your lane and deliver. If you are given to do roads, do roads; do not go and launch football in some funny areas. I want to challenge the Cabinet Secretaries and senior Government officials to deliver this agenda going into the future so that, as a country, we can move forward. The President has given us direction. We do not want to sing the song by Lucky Dube “ When you look outside the window, do you see anything to smile about? ” We do The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
