    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I said earlier, we have been marginalised and neglected for many years. We do not have enough roads, and the healthcare and education sectors have suffered because we do not have good infrastructure. As people of Northern Kenya, we are grateful to our President for considering the Isiolo-Mandera-Wajir road. Nobody cared about us before that. It is my prayer that he will consider more roads. In fact, I want our President to continue with the same spirit. Let the naysayers continue saying what they want, but this country is progressing. The Social Health Authority (SHA) is already working, and our people are going to hospitals and giving testimonies. Some months ago, many people were condemning our Government and the President. Many houses have been built under the affordable housing program, and people have already benefited from it. We must give a lot of attention to the slums in this country and ensure we do away with them. As we build roads, we are taking development to all areas. We are also encouraging people to invest and grow their counties. We will be criticised, but this Government is focused enough, and our President is forward-looking. By the time we finish 10 years, I am sure Kenyans will appreciate that they had a responsible Government in place. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
