    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from where I stand, the President’s Speech has a score card. I do not want to dwell much on how the scorecard looks like. I want to look at the issues that need to be expanded or implemented so that we can move forward. The next time our President is giving his Speech, we can all stand and cheer him. The President mentioned the Big Four Agenda which we support wholeheartedly. However, time is running out.Every time I hear about the issues we need to do, I get worried. We need technical support to construct 500 homes. Currently, we are behind on issues of technical support, for example, the plumbers. As we plan to implement the Big Four Agenda, we need to put our heads together and lay down the road map clearly. One year is almost gone; we only have another four years to go. I propose that we improve on the creation of capacity especially for technicians. As we build houses, improve infrastructure and manufacture products, we should have the technical capacity to support that agenda. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President mentioned the issue of security. We agree that for the Big Four Agenda to work, the environment must be enabling. Security is an enabler of development. With the way goons are behaving in Nairobi which is the centre of investment, it is time for the Government to put its feet down and make arrests. It is surprising that we have the pictures of these culprits in the newspapers. We will spend a large amount of money to reward any citizen of this country who will identity them and bring them forward. That is a lapse on the security apparatus. They need to wake up and support the environment to implement the Big Four Agenda. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot implement the Big Four Agenda when corruption cases are taking nine to ten years. As legislators, it is time to come up with a way of putting timelines to corruption cases. Somebody mentioned about election petitions. We have up to six months to conclude them. We also need to come up with The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
