    "content": "presidential standard of a person to an extent that the firimbi fellows were reduced to triviality. I congratulate the President for that. That is why they had to keep quiet because it was becoming something small in the eyes of the President. I want to touch on the issue of infrastructure which this Government is implementing. Credit does not go to anybody other than the President. Why do I say this? It is because all the infrastructural plans were done much earlier, as back as 1973, 1975 and 1976. No President would have done different from His Excellency the President. That is the road map even for the bypasses. There is no way you can say “it was started by so and so and should not have been done by the current Government.” That is the only way we could do it. In fact, credit goes to him because he has fixed those roads and other infrastructure including the railway. That is the way you would have gone if you were in authority. Second is on the issue of security. It has tremendously improved. As we speak, Garissa University has offered chances to 700 students from the Joint Admissions Board (JAB). That is something we would not have talked about six months ago. This is a plus for the President and this Government for improving security. In particular is my constituency. Cattle rustling has become a barbaric thing. It has killed very many people and made them poor; indeed, very poor. Widows have been there for many years but today, people are sleeping there soundly. They are relaxing and grazing animals in peace because of this Government. We have been offered an opportunity. We have been given enough armoured vehicles and policemen. Those vehicles can move to any type of terrain in which those cattle rustlers hide. The Suguta Valley is becoming a thing of the past due to the new equipment. On the issue of cash transfers for the elderly, disabled, orphans and widows, we in Samburu North have never known that. We are enjoying that facility because of this Government. We never had that even during the reign of the last Government; the “nusu mkate” Government. We started getting it in the last three years. The lives of elderly and poor people have been extended. They are able to go to a shop and borrow on credit. The elderly can now get food. Their life is becoming better than it was. Electricity supply is being done even in the remotest areas like Samburu North. We never had it before. Schools are having lights and children are now able to learn even during the night. We need to encourage the President and this Government to do better. There is no way they can do better if we make a lot of noise and yet we know that that is their responsibility and they can work harder and do better. I support, Hon. Speaker."
