    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to speak on the State of the Nation Address by his Excellency President William Ruto. The first thing that caught my attention is the respect that the President gave to the august House by referring to us as distinguished Members who were democratically elected. I take note of the fact that every time we have a function, where the President is present, he gives utmost respect to elected Members. That is something that I never saw in my last tenure in the last Parliament. So, I commend him on that. That puts us in relationship that we can respect each other and work together. The President mentioned the words national values many times in his speech. We need to have the national values of our country defined. Once we understand what our national values are as citizens and leaders, we will move forward. Our national values are enshrined in our Constitution. They are also enshrined in our national anthem. However, we have forgotten our national values. The reason I say that is because sometimes when I take a drive on the highway, I notice that the solar street lights that were erected by various bodies have been stolen on the highway and I feel that we have no respect for the investments that have been made to make this country progressive. I feel that we need to do a lot of work in defining our national values to the people."
