    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank hon. Katoo for giving me this time. First of all, I want to say that the Presidential Speech kept the spirit of Kenyans. It gave us hope and direction as a country. I want to note with a lot of satisfaction that he addressed a number of issues which the Jubilee Government has attained within the last two years. I want to note that in areas of education and rural electrification, in my constituency and county, I have noted with a lot of satisfaction the work that has been done especially on connecting schools, centers and homes. Thousands of people have been connected within a very short time something the previous governments were not able to do in the last 30 or 40 years. I also want to note the issue of restorative justice especially for individuals who were affected by the post-election violence of 2008 and forest evictees. The Government should give out Kshs10 billion to ensure that those people are settled and live in their homes very well. I also want to note the issue of infrastructure which is very important for the overall economic development of a nation. Nations in the South East Asia and other parts of the world especially the emerging economies have done very well because they have invested heavily in infrastructure which is denoted by the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and good facilities especially in areas of road network. Lastly, on corruption, this is a cancer that is killing this country and we support the President."
