    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is important to reveal that I was not in the House. However, I followed the Address online from the time the President came to the last sentence. I rise to support all the sentiments raised by the Head of State and Government. I congratulate him for a job well done for the past one year. He put it clearly in his State of the Nation Address that the six judges he appointed came in handy to support the Judiciary and the justice administration system of our country. The fact that he also allocated Ksh3 billion to the Judiciary is a clear indication that the President supports the justice administration system in the country, which has not been fairing on well for a number of years. In his speech, he also highlighted that he has set the Inspector-General as an accounting officer to ensure that the National Police Service (NPS) is well managed. At the same time, he appointed Justice David Maraga to lead a taskforce to review the terms and conditions of our women and men in uniform. The NPS has been experiencing challenges. To ensure that Kenyans enjoy security, protection of life and property, the President set up the taskforce in his first days in office as the Head of State and Government. The Government, led by the President, has invested a lot in agricultural production and livestock value chain addition so that the cost of living comes down. It is currently yielding fruit. The cost of fertilisers has come down from Ksh7,000 to Ksh2,500 per bag. We are currently witnessing huge harvests in different parts of the country. The Government has also controlled wasteful expenditure. The President has ensured that no Government officer spends more than seven days outside the country. Unnecessary expenditures in public service offices have also been cut down. The Hustler Fund has displayed an exemplary performance with disbursements of large amounts of money to a tune of Ksh36.6 billion, and savings of Ksh2.3 billion. These are all achievements within one year in office of our visionary Head of State. We witnessed the employment of almost 60,000 primary school and 8,000 JSS teachers. This has been done by a committed President. He clearly outlined that achievement in his speech, and it is known to every person within the Republic of Kenya. This has never been done in the past, and it can only be accomplished through commitment, passion and diligence in service to the people. The Government, led by his Excellency the President, championed the passage of the Social Health Insurance Act, 2023; the Primary Health Care Act, 2023; and the Facilities Improvement Financing Act, 2023, to enhance healthcare."
