    "content": ". I do not want to go through the whole Speech because it may take my time before I make one or two comments. I will just say I support. However, I would have wished that the President talked to the nation about the current rains and how much it is going to cost this country in terms of infrastructure particularly roads. As we prepare to go on recess, I do not know what roads we are going to use to go to our constituencies because we have no more roads especially in constituencies that have not had tarmac. When Mombasa road closes, there is no exit. I have been talking about the Konza-Isinya Road in my constituency. That would provide a solution to the deadlock on Mombasa Road. I am yet to be heard. I expect this road to get into the budget. In addition, we have a lot of issues in our constituencies. There are towns that have no water yet, there is water running now. Kitengela has no water and we expected to be told the measures that are going to be taken by the Executive in order to harvest water during this current rains, so that we do not only depend on Ndakaini Dam that Nairobi, Kajiado and other neighboring counties are depending on. If Ndakaini Dam is not collecting water, then Kenyans in Nairobi, Kajiado and Kitengela will have no water. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know that Hon. Matiba has played a role in this country and that is why he was recognised by His Excellency. But as a woman leader, I would have appreciated if His Excellency the President would even acknowledge our Member, Hon. Grace Kipchoim who passed on. She is woman who struggled from Baringo. A minute by the President would have done a lot to appreciate the work she has done particularly to address the issue of security in her constituency. We hope that this handshake is not only about two big men. We hope that this handshake is going to bring peace and economic prosperity in our country. I hope it is not just a handshake of the bigger tribes. I hope it is also going to benefit the smaller tribes that have never been recognised in this country. There are parts of this country that are yet to be developed. There are parts of Kenya that are yet to fully get into Government and be felt because all these years they have been marginalised. There is no way we can talk about equalisation in only 14 counties and leave out Kajiado and yet Narok County does better economically than Kajiado. I have in mind places like Mashuru Sub-County, and if you look at my constituency…"
