    "content": "We talk about unity of intent, which means all the things we do, we do towards helping all the citizens of this nation. How can that be if in this country today, most of the services are just good or well done in the private sector? When you go to secondary schools, it is the private sector that does well. When you go to healthcare, it is the private sector that gives good services. If you look at the amount of looting that is going on, you will find that the nation belongs to those who have and those who can loot. How then will you get the intent of unity? The President says very clearly that development is the most important factor in recreating nationhood. We say that we have moved to middle income status. We talk about 5.8 per cent GDP growth. How have those figures affected Kenyans? Do we have more jobs now? Is the cost of living lower? Have our health services to the people improved? The President himself in paragraphs 33 and 34 says that some citizens may actually not realise these improvements. That indicates what is happening in the country. When you go to the health sector, we list instruments and services that are being given, but I will just take the issue of instruments and the equipment that are in the counties. In Machakos Hospital, we have an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where nobody has ever been treated. The equipments are there but there is no anaesthetist. How does that help the country? If you look at the police force, you will find that we talk about the number of vehicles we have bought, and the number of people we have employed. On its own, that is not a result. The impact is by how much security has improved. The fact that you have vehicles and policemen does not mean security has improved---"
