    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank Members for their wide range of contributions on the topics, matters and measures taken; and progress made in realisation of the national values and principle of governance. The President has done very well, taking into account the various Sessional Papers that have been presented to this House and approved, and the budgetary allocations that have been provided for realisation of the national values and principles of governance. Secondly, on the progress made in fulfilling the international obligations of the Republic of Kenya, as I said earlier, for the first time, Kenya has a documented foreign policy. There is a document which shows our engagements with other state and non-state actors, both bilaterally and multilaterally. Lastly, on the state of national security, three years down the line, Kenya is safer. We have combated terrorism. The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), both men and women, are doing a great job in Somalia. We are having less and less terror attacks. Our security agencies are working closely with our partners in terms of intelligence sharing. We have invested in human capital. We recruit 10,000 people into the force annually. We have also invested in police equipment and intelligence gathering. I am sure the little challenges we have, for example, cattle rustling in Baringo, West Pokot, Marakwet and Laikipia, the Uhuru Administration has the capacity to bring that to an end. Kenya has transformed under President Uhuru Kenyatta. Those with eyes can see, those with ears can hear, but those who do not want to hear or see, the majority citizens of this country will see and hear on their behalf. With those many remarks, I beg to reply."
