    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to also applaud the Speech made by the President. Considering that I have two minutes, I want to go straight to the good things that have happened during his reign apart from the corruption. First of all, it was very magnanimous of him to apologize about corruption considering some of the things happening today are mistakes that he inherited. Secondly, I am looking at things that have happened during his reign. He talked about Kenya being one of the countries that is now considered as a fast-growing economy. We see this when we are outside there, representing this country. As a woman legislator, I have heard that in some countries women are not supposed to take loans without the approval of their husbands. In this country, we are able to take loans and we have women in leadership. Women are able to stand up and speak their voices. That is something that cannot happen outside there. These are achievements that have happened during President Kenyatta’s reign. Look at Uwezo Fund and Women Enterprise Fund; these were just ideas on paper, but right now, the implementation is going on and we applaud him on that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to look at energy production during his reign and the connections that we have achieved. When you look at the power bill, it is a bit low even if it is just reduced by one shilling or ten cents, but the reduction is remarkable. In his speech, he also talked about connections in schools totaling to 18,424 connections. This is something that was only being talked about, but President Kenya has implemented it. Therefore, we need to applaud him for that. Look at the development of Huduma Centres---"
