"content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by the President. The President’s Address tackled many issues affecting Kenyans that had been raised by them. This was a very positive speech because the President mentioned most of the issues that he is going to address and settled the problems that are facing our people. One of the important things that struck me most was the SHIF. We know that the transition from the NHIF to the SHA is one of the most important schemes for the people of Kenya. We know that the scheme is going to cover the people who are employed and those who are not employed. So, our transition from NHIF to SHA will ensure that most of our people will get healthcare services when they require them. This week, I was one of the beneficiaries of the SHA, which was met with a lot of negativity by most Kenyans. I was a beneficiary this week when I had a patient suffering from cancer who was covered entirely for chemotherapy by the SHA. I want to encourage Kenyans to enrol themselves and benefit from this scheme which has been facilitated by the Kenyan government. Another important issue that the President mentioned in his speech was education. We are all impressed by the employment of 46,000 teachers, which will settle the issue of our schools, which are currently facing a shortage of teachers, especially the CBC."
