I applaud our President for coming up with this Speech that touched the lives of Kenyans, including leaders and the communities at the grassroots. The President touched on so many issues that affect Kenyans and the progress that Kenyans and different arms of Government have made. He made some statements on the issue of housing. I am totally impressed with the Big Four Agendas of the President, housing being one of them. The President wants to see every Kenyan having a decent home or roof over his head. It is one of the best dreams that every leader would want to embrace if they love their nation and citizens. I urge fellow Senators to dream big like our President. It is very impressive to see our President working towards the improvement of the housing sector. Kenya has some of some of the biggest slums in Africa. We, therefore, need to support the President by coming up with the policies and systems that can work towards fulfilling the Big Four Agenda, housing being one of them. The President, in his Speech, touched on devolution. He said that in the spirit of upholding devolution, his administration has initiated the Huduma Mashinani Programme. In this Programme, there is registration of persons and the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) and National Social Security Fund (NSSF). All those services will be accessible to our citizens. I think that is one of the initiatives that all Kenyans The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
