    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also join my colleagues in commenting on the President’s Speech. It was a very good expose of the President’s management of the country in the past four year. I would like to commend the President particularly for the bold steps he has taken to address the issue of internal security. In the internal sector, he has done well. The level of crime has gone down. In Baringo, West Pokot and Turkana counties, and in other areas that are prone to cattle rustling, insecurity has been rampant. Overall, the President has done well. I urge him to ensure that there is good management of the National Police Service so that they do not involve themselves in activities which may injure wananchi. The President ought to have addressed the impact of global warming, which is causing havoc in most parts of this country. We are beginning to see severe famine and drought all over because of global warming. We need to sensitise Kenyans to enable them understand that the phenomena of global warming has already taken effect. We must start teaching wananchi so that they can also change their behavioural patterns. The issue of roads has not been addressed. Where I come from, we do not have roads. We are treated to tarmac roads which are of poor standards. In fact, they take too long to construct such roads. It is an issue of concern, and so, when you talk about the construction of 6,000 kilometers of road, I am really shocked because I do not see any in my backyard. I hope something is going to be done. I am concerned that what is going on is temporary tarmacking of our roads. This is interesting. You can be sure this is going to mess our economy because that is done at the cost of constructing a real and permanent tarmac road.
