He also talked about different parenting as far as the boy-child is concerned. Let them be strengthened, so that even when it comes to societal and family matters, the boy child grows to become more responsible. These issues that we are seeing coming from men will be reduced in the future and that is what we pray for. So, we appreciate him for that. There was also the issue of cancellation of the Adani deal. You will all remember that when the issue of Adani came out, there were so many concerns, especially from our brothers and sisters working for the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). They said they were not comfortable with that kind of agreement because they did not understand it. The cancellation of the agreement is an indication that the President listens to the people. University students raised concerns about the Education Funding Model that has been implemented. The President took time, called for a county hall meeting, and had a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
