    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also speak to the President’s Speech on the State of the Nation Address. First of all, I want to thank the President and appreciate him for the speech. For the first time, I heard the President speak to my heart. I will touch on a few areas, which the President’s speech touched on. One is to thank the President for assuring Kenyans that the Kenyan Shilling has stabilized against the Dollar. That is the truth. This encourages Kenyans who are in the diaspora, because we know they contribute a lot to building the economy of this nation. So, with the Shilling stabilized against the Dollar, it is a plus for us in this country. I also would like to thank the President on the measures taken on food security. In the President's Speech, he spoke on the measures that have been taken to ensure that we have food security in the nation. When people are starving, it is women and children who suffer most. For me, as the women president of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and broad-based coalition, I am so encouraged to know that the President has the people at heart and is thinking of how this country is going to be food secure. In reference to Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) the education system, I have heard some people casting doubts. However, the way the CBC is taking place and how it was explained in the Speech, it is taking shape. We have grades seven, eight and nine that are in Junior Secondary schools (JSS), who are heading to Senior Secondary. Our children are going to be prepared with the skills that will enable them to face life and earn a living. /I would say we only need extra steps to be taken to take this education 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."
