I was particularly very happy because the President gave a very, very good speech. The Address was very specific to the issues raised by wananchi and their aspirations. The very issues that the President took us through were measurable, achievable and time-bound. The President started by recognising issues raised by wananchi or the people of Kenya, which was a very good indicator that he is alive to the issues bedevilling our nation. That really made me very happy about him. It also showed us that our President is a listening President. That is why he started by mentioning issues bedevilling our people. He went ahead to give the progress and plans he has to take this country forward. I am really happy about the progress with the affordable housing programme and enhanced food security in this country. For a while there has not been a need for distribution of relief food in this country, because of affordable fertiliser and the favourable weather that the Lord has blessed us with. There is enhanced food security. The President also mentioned something that excited me about improvement in the sugar sector. He mentioned that we are already self-sufficient in terms of sugar production and, therefore, we do not need to import sugar anymore. We have sufficient sugar for our nation and we are going to have more to export. That made me very happy because previously we had been importing sugar. That is why we had a menace of contaminated sugar, which led to a lot"
