    "content": "The President also mentioned service delivery to our society. He was clear about security. It reminded me of my constituency, Kaiti. There is a small village called Mitini where there is a lot of insecurity. The Speech encouraged me because I now know that my people will get services from the Government. It is also important for us elected leaders to support the President’s delivery of services. In the field of health, in my county of Makueni, my Governor, Mr. Kivutha Kibwana, rolled out a universal healthcare programme. I was happy yesterday to see the President supporting the universal healthcare, which is very important. As a country, we need to adopt these health services because our people need to get services. Two weeks ago, in my constituency, there was a woman who fell into a pit latrine. After the neighbours rescued her, they brought her to my home. I reminded them about the universal healthcare and they told me that they had the cards. I directed them to a health centre in my constituency and they got the services. Within three hours, they were served without a single cent. I am happy and I support this Speech. What I expected to hear from the President – which I did not get, clearly – was about the floods that have caused a lot of havoc across the country. People have lost their lives and property. I expected the President to talk about it. Because of the goodwill of the President, I know people will get services and this issue will be addressed well by the Government."
