    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Affordable Housing Bill. As Kenya Kwanza legislators, there is a promise that we made to the people of Kenya when we went round campaigning for the Presidency in 2022; that we will ensure that our people get affordable houses and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Madam Temporary Speaker, therefore, that is why the High Court had an issue when this affordable housing levy came in, because there was no legislation in place. As a result of this ruling by the High Court that we have this Bill, so that there is some framework for implementation of this affordable Housing. It is sometimes very difficult for leaders to make some bold decisions. However, we applaud our President and Deputy President for agreeing to make this very bold decision in order to help our people. Madam Temporary Speaker, other countries that have developed because of making bold decisions. I believe Kenya with Kenya Kwanza in power, in the next few years, will be like Singapore, Mauritius and other countries that were at the same stage as Kenya in 1970s."
