    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Children are taught in schools about developing and developed countries. When we come to Kenya, as leaders, we should ensure that we eradicate poverty and extreme hunger. During the President’s Speech, I noted there were some things which were not coming out clearly, especially on the price of gorogoro of maize. I got excited immediately he spoke of Ksh60 to Ksh70, but when I went to Kisii, I found that the price of gorogoro of maize was retailing at between Ksh120 and Ksh150. There is still a gap on how to eradicate poverty and hunger. When you meet people on the streets, they want to hear when the youths are going to be employed, good roads are going to be constructed, and when schools will have sufficient water. During this season, it is raining well in our land. However, the problem is that immediately after the rains, we are still going to experience hunger. I suggest that the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation comes up with ways in which we can harvest this water so that during the dry season, our people can benefit. Apart from prices of unga going down, we have the Maasai community which relies on meat and milk. It should not be perceived that when the price of gorogoro of maize has gone down, which has not, we have solved the problem of poverty and hunger. Too many people are crying. We do not even have clear measures on how our children are transiting to Junior Secondary Schools (JSSs) with a good number of teachers. The ratio should be good so that we have good participation of students and teachers. I agree that we are improving our environment. The President has been talking about mitigating and reducing the expenditure. We used to have scouts in our schools. When I was in Kaplong Girls, we used to plant trees and visit the sick in hospitals. If planting trees can be taken back to our learners, they are taught and it is made a daily routine, we can save and have a better Kenya."
