    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support the Motion on the President’s State of the Nation Address. The President spoke about many things, but I would like to just mention a few. One, the President spoke about improving the ease of doing business in Kenya. Right now in the World Bank Report of ease of doing business, Kenya ranks below some of our neighbours like Morocco and Mauritius. The President candidly said that he will introduce reforms that would make doing business in Kenya easy. You know the economy expands when people do business. So, this was one of the most critical things that the President spoke about. As a Member of this House, I will be waiting to see some of those reforms when they come to allow this economy to prosper. In the same line of ease of doing business, he spoke about creating SME credit guarantee scheme that will ensure that the SME sector in Kenya is rejuvenated, grown and that SMEs that are struggling today courtesy of our arrogant banking sector will be able to get an opportunity to do business outside the financial sector. This is something that is in my heart. If this is implemented, we will have a booming economy."
