    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to raise a few issues. First and foremost, the President fell short of telling Kenyans about his Government’s policies, especially on education. The education sector is being run by Sessional Paper of 2005. This has brought a lot of issues in the education sector. It is important that we talk about issues that affect our people. I would like the President to look at the Ministry of Education where we have wrangles within the TSC. He also needs to look at the issue of the sessional paper. If somebody went to court today, the Ministry could be found to be operating illegally. He also did not tell us something about the Ministry of Lands. We have the Commissioner of Lands wrangling with the Minister for 24 hours, seven days a week. We know that this country has been put under those circumstances because of the land issue. The President needed to tell us about wealth creation in this country. He never mentioned anything in his Speech about the oil in Turkana. This is massive wealth for this country. He never talked about the power wind in Turkana and yet this is a major source of revenue for his Government. He did not even mention anything about exploration of gas and oil products in Lamu. He even forgot about the coal industry in Kitui and yet it is a major source of revenue within that region. He did not tell us the actual policies they are putting in place regarding the projects which were started during the Kibaki area, for example, the LAPSSET project. As a result of this project, people have not been compensated up to today. We are creating more IDPs in the name of big projects in this country. The President has told the women and youth of this country that he has set aside about 30 per cent to cater for their procurement issues. However, there is no clear guideline for procurement officers in this country; how they will provide that 30 per cent to these people. He is setting us up as leaders against the youth and women of this country. About devolution, the issue of devolution for health has been done in a hurry and so the country is suffering. Doctors have started resigning. This matter needs to be handled in a proper way to ensure that devolution takes place in a proper manner."
