    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I wish the Member for Mathioya would donate to me his three minutes because he always gets time to speak on the Floor. Contributing to the Presidential Address is very important to all of us. Because I know that time is short, I will just try to contribute on a few issues. I would like to congratulate the President for the good Speech he made and for giving this country direction and the way forward. The first thing that the President said which was very important is that he swore to uphold the Constitution. I think this is important to us because we need a President who respects the Constitution. The President also said that he supports devolution. We have seen that by the allocation that was made to the county governments of 32 per cent instead of 15 per cent. Whereas we applaud what the President did by showing a lot of goodwill for devolution, we must urge our county governments to show value for such huge resources that they have been allocated. The President said that insecurity is a challenge in this country. We all know what happened to baby Osinya and others. The President has tried. The people who have failed are in the security docket. These people must up their game because we all feel very insecure in this country right now. The President also mentioned about increasing the police numbers, which is good. He also talked about the vehicles that have been bought. However, the terms of our security forces must be improved. When these people are paid peanuts, you do not expect them to give us the best security. The President also mentioned about irrigating the one million acres."
