    "content": "The speech was interesting. The President talked of the achievements and activities that the Government has undertaken. However, the achievements are threatened by corruption and that is not good for us. Corruption has impoverished Government and the private sectors. Therefore, we need to rally behind the Government and our beloved President in the fight against corruption. We are undergoing a long spell of drought which has made nomadic people to move from one place to the other in search of water and pasture. I was in Marsabit two days ago together with the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. People in Marsabit told us that there are people who are going without food because of drought yet the President told us that the Government has enough food. I do not know what the problem is. Could it be the distribution of food? We were told that there is food yet some of our people do not have food. It is bad for people, in this country, to go without food for the whole day. We should check if the distribution agents are the ones who are failing the Government and if the problem is not with them, we should find out what the problem is because the President assured us that there is enough food. The President also talked of the handshake and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). We do support the handshake and we do not want gaps between Kenyans. Instead, we want bridges to be built and we should embrace each other in order for us to have one Kenya. The President assured us of security. It is good for the Government to ensure that there is security for the citizens and their property as enshrined in our Constitution. He also told us that the Kenya Defence Forces are defending this country. Many people who have joined the radical groups and terrorists have turned wild. It was good that the President assured us that there is a strong force that can fight those groups. The terrorists have shown us that they are not from one ethnic community. The President stated his support for devolution, fight against corruption and he also said that he will unite Kenyans and for that reason, I do support his speech."
