    "content": "and baba mbogas who are supplying food in the construction sites. Members of Parliament who have these projects in their constituencies can testify to the transformation that the Affordable Housing Programme has brought to the neighbourhoods where these programmes are. Markets, whether middle-level, large, or the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) that are being built across the country are in a big way transforming neighbourhoods, changing the landscape of our towns and shopping centres, and, more importantly, addressing the question of unemployment by providing employment opportunities to millions of our youth. It is not to say we are there yet; we are moving on. That is why the President alluded to the overseas opportunities and across our borders, that close to 105,000 Kenyans have now secured employment and millions have also been empowered by the Hustler Fund to become employers and self-employed. In safeguarding our national values, encouraging patriotism, the rule of law, democracy, and participation of the people, I am glad that His Excellency the President never shied away from speaking about the issues raised by Kenyans. I was happy when I heard him say that there is a difference between an arrest and an abduction because Kenyans have now been tuned by the culture of misinformation and disinformation. Even when I am arrested, my supporters just need to post on social media that the Member of Parliament for Kikuyu has been abducted. I am happy that the President was very clear in creating that dichotomy between what legitimate arrests are and what abductions are and what government agencies ought to be doing,"
