    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Speech by the Head of State. I start by appreciating the Speech because it instilled hope in Kenyans. The quality that human beings require the most to live is hope. Secondly, I was inspired by the President noting that there is need to listen. He walked the talk. It is through him listening to Kenyans that the Adani deals are now out of our way. If he was not a listening president, those deals would still be in our way. It is through education that we can uplift our economy and our well-being. When the Kenya Kwanza Coalition came to power, the first thing it did was to employ 56,000 teachers. To instil hope in Kenyans, the President reminded us that the Government will employ another 20,000 teachers to improve the standards of education. That is the hope that we need in this country. Kenya is a developing country, and we have industries coming up. The President gave a lot of weight to Technical and Vocation Education Training (TVET) institutions. Our industries cannot work if we do not build the capacity of TVET institutions. There is a government policy of facilitating one TVET college in every constituency. The President mentioned the new budget and said that TVETs in all the constituencies will be facilitated to produce good teams that can work both within and outside the country. It is good to note that Kenya is sending many young people abroad. The President mentioned several bilateral labour migration agreements through which we can have good engagements with other countries, enabling Kenyans to improve their standards of living as well as the welfare of their people through overseas remittances. He also mentioned about improving the rate of remittances from those working outside the country. Health is a crucial sector we cannot gamble with. The President spoke about the new universal healthcare scheme, which we must adhere to in order to improve our health, especially for those who are unemployed. My advice to fellow Kenyans is that they should register first. They can comment on the scheme once they have registered. Those who have not registered should not talk about it because one cannot benefit from the scheme without being registered. The registration strategy is in place for people to register, and then other things will follow. The President also talked about Information and Communication Technology (ICT). We are in the world of ICT, and the Government is committed to establishing ICT hubs. In"
