    "content": "(Sen. (Dr). Zani): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion on the Presidential Speech that was read on Tuesday, 16th April, 2013. This is a Speech full of implied policy. We know very well that if all we have is implied policy then this will cause a problem. This has been a problem for Kenya since Independence. The implied policy which was not clarified should be cascaded down to the different Ministries so that the Cabinet Secretaries are clear about the roles they will play and the specific directions they will take in terms of decision-making. This will create a situation where the manner in which we apply the implied policy is actualized or is made to come to the fore. It is unfortunate that 50 years later we are talking about the enemies we had during Independence. We are talking about the problem of poverty, illiteracy and ethnicity. If we had policies all along that were well put into place, then these problems, over time, would have been eradicated. So, it is very important for us to put that into perspective. The other bit about policy that we have not focused on is the fact that if and when policy is implied, it is important to make sure that it is sustained. For each of the policies from the Presidential Speech, it is important to ensure that it is sustainable and that it is applied over a long period. I remember lots of policies that were put into place and good The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
