"content": "I needed to first move the Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am extremely sorry. If you allow me Clerk, I would like to read the Motion before I move it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the danger of being assigned a job you are excited to finish. If it were me coming from my seat, then I would have started by what I did. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move - THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.25 (1), the thanks of this Senate be recorded for the exposition of public policy contained in the Address of His Excellency the President, delivered on Thursday, 9th November, 2023 and further that the Senate notes the following Reports submitted by His Excellency the President in fulfilment of Articles 132 (1) (c) and 240 (7) of the Constitution, laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 14th November, 2023 - i) The 10th State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President delivered at a Joint Sitting of Parliament on Thursday, 9th November, 2023; ii.) The 10th Annual Report (2022/2023), on the measures taken and progress achieved in the realisation of national values and principles of governance; and iii) The Annual Report to Parliament on the State of National Security, November 2023. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with the advice of the Clerk and because we want to allow as many people as possible to contribute, allow me not to be repetitive. What I said three minutes earlier should apply during the record of the HANSARD so that I can move to the next point. Secondly, I want to congratulate the President for admitting before the Joint Sitting of the House that we have existing conditions of extreme difficulty in Kenya today. Things are extremely difficult in the country. Some members of the public, who mean well, know that leadership must look for solutions. However, other members of the public who want to score points want to use this opportunity of difficult circumstances that our people are going through to either make fun of leaders or confirm that they have failed. It is difficult. I have been in politics for over 20 years. In my life, I have never been heckled in the Luhya nation. All the way from Kitale, Bungoma, Kakamega, Vihiga, Busia and the Luyha land in the diaspora. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
