    "content": "On the issue of some people claiming that this is the time the Government or the President can use going round giving projects and all that, I think we need also to agree. That is why in every financial year, we approve a budget in this House. The reason we pass the budget is to allocate money to projects yearly. On the projects done this year, the President is launching them in some areas and leaving out others, but this does not mean it is because of elections. It is just what has been planned to be done this financial year. And we need to agree with it. It is not the issue of elections. What of those projects which have been done for all those years before this election year? We need to appreciate what the Government is doing. When we talk about drought, I come from an area where it is taking away everything, without excluding human beings. I thank the President because he showed concern that his Government will address the issue of drought through livestock off-take programme, cash transfers, relief food and water provision. That is the Government we say is there for the people. And we appreciate what they are doing. On insecurity in the North Rift, the President mentioned that his Government is committed to dealing with those people who are terrorizing others in the North Rift. That is a good move. We want the Government to have that commitment and make sure that the people who are terrorizing other people in the North Rift are dealt with. With those few remarks, I support this Speech."
