    "content": "Secondly, I would like say “thank you” for the progress the Government is making towards realisation of the Big Four Agenda, which will benefit young people across the country. Why do I say this? The ones who are going to benefit from the value addition programme are young people. A large number of young people are unemployed. They are the ones who are seeing employment. That means the Government is ready to cater for the needs of young people in Kenya. That is why I ask that this programme should be implemented faster for the benefit of young people in Kenya. Thirdly, I would like to comment on the issue pertaining to security. Security is an international issue which concerns our people. For example, in the area I come from, namely, Igembe South Constituency; this is something we are trying to fight. The President spearheaded this yesterday. It means security personnel will start doing their work as it was directed. I understand that most of the security personnel normally relax but as the President said yesterday, each and every person will be accountable for what he is doing. There is nobody who will be charged with somebody else’s job in the stations where they are working. The fourth point I want make is about agriculture. I remember His Excellency the President emphasising on this issue. Food security in our Republic is something we cannot keep behind. This is the mother of everything we do in the Republic of Kenya. As we work, we are supposed to ensure that we have sustainable food within our country. I would like to support yesterday’s Speech by the President and urge each and every Kenyan to forgive each other in emulation of the “handshake” of 9th March 2018, so that we can progress the Republic and not argue or fight with anybody. Kenya will continue being well- governed by His Excellency the President, my dear dad, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta."
