    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make comments on the President’s Speech made on this House on the 24th April, this year. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to commend the President for the statement he made to this House. A good portion of it gives a reflection of what the Government has managed to achieve over the last four years. The President did mention specific areas which I want to comment on one being the area of the road network. It is, indeed, granted that His Excellency the President has spearheaded the construction of the road network in our country. He did mention that 2,700 kilometres have been constructed in the last almost nine years and about 4,000 kilometres rehabilitated. This is a very commendable achievement on the part of the Government as communication in the country not only helps in enhancing the movement of goods and services but also gives greater impetus to economic development. There are very legitimate concerns by the people of this country when it comes to delivery of Government services. Specifically, the President mentioned about the Tourism Unlimited Liability Bill. Tourism being a very critical component of our development as a country requires greater attention. I would have expected the President to give clear indications on what the Government position, policy and programme is with respect to tourism. Why do I say so? As we are talking, the country receives less than two million visitors every year and yet truth be told Kenya has among the best tourism products in the whole world."
