    "content": "Today, our youth are able to access procurement opportunities. Tendering had been very difficult particularly for start-up companies, the youth, women and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). His Government has taken steps and made it mandatory for any Authority-to-Incur- Expenditure (A-I-E) holder to consider the youth, women and PWDs. Kenyans returned this favour on 8th August 2017 by electing him as their President. Following the overturning of his win by the Supreme Court, the stock exchange recorded a loss of Kshs32 billion. As Hon. Keynan was speaking here, I remembered the pain we went through as a result of insecurity in the country. The Kenya Shilling dropped. Tourists stopped coming and our economy received a heavy beating. These are the things which pain me when I see that for some people, seeking political power supersedes the needs of Kenyans. I am happy that President Kenyatta saw it fit to allow all the three arms of Government to start serving. Both the Judiciary and the Executive are already serving people. He opened Parliament so that all of us can serve Kenyans. I am disturbed because Members of the Opposition have found it impossible to swallow their pride and come to serve Kenyans, which is what they have been called to do. Our president has shown remarkable resilience, humility, patience, fear of God, patriotism and love The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
