    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to add my voice in support of the President's Speech. It was inspirational, motivating and gave hope to Kenyans. It also showed that the President is in touch with the people and gave a thoughtful response to the issues affecting Kenyans. Above all, it gave a clear picture of a leader with a plan. For a very long time, this country has been mismanaged by leaders who borrowed without caring. They knew very well that they did not have to worry about paying the debts, but the next regime would pay. For a very long time, past regimes did not think about population growth, hence we are facing unemployment that is threatening the security of this nation. The issues that Kenyans face today are not a creation of this regime, but a generational problem. In his Speech, the President touched on almost every sector and gave a plan of what his Government has put in place. Corruption has been a cancer in this country. The President came out very strongly to address this issue. Therefore, I urge this House to support the fight against corruption. According to the drafters of the Constitution, the idea behind devolution was to bring areas that had been marginalised for a long time, at par with other areas in this country. Sadly, this is not happening. In my home county, people are still struggling to get basic needs."
