    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to also contribute to the Address by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya. I support the Presidential Address. By looking at the first pages, it is evident that the President took a lot of time to recommit himself to serving Kenyans without fear or favour. I feel that is a very important commitment, and I wish to thank the President for assuring Kenyans that he is still ready to serve them. Additionally, I to support the Building Bridges Initiative that constituted a handshake between the President and Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga because some areas were no-go-zones for certain people particularly when it comes to employment and businesses. There are many farmers in my county who own tractors and they would previously go ploughing as far as Migori. They had already feared going there but right now, they are carrying out their businesses there. We have many other employees who feared to be deployed in NASA areas but now, as a result of the handshake, they are not scared. I remember we used to fear going to Kisumu to hold meetings as Jubilee members. However, right now, we can go swim whenever we like. I think that is one major thing that is as a result of the ―Handshake‖. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in his Address, again, I realized that the President was able to recognize our heroes and heroines who include Mr. Eliud Kipchoge, who is our champion in athletics and Mr. Roy Alela, who was able to innovate and invent smart clocks that are able to convert sign language into audio speech, a real form of innovation. If people are recognised especially by the Head of State, it will challenge our youth to be more innovative."
