"content": "important that we become candid and talk about it. We will be misleading the President if we said that everything is going on well and yet they are not. On economic growth, it is true that Kenya is struggling to grow and I have an issue with that. The country would grow if we had equity. The President’s address did not touch on pastoralism. In the last one month, twelve counties in this country have been experiencing severe drought. In the President’s Address there was nothing that touched on drought. What does that imply? Was that not an important issue to be addressed by the President? Were the 12 counties less important to the President? The President ought to have addressed the issue of drought as a matter of national importance. He should have made the 12 affected counties feel that they are part and parcel of this country. The President ought to have addressed the issue of the Equalisation Fund. It is nine years down the line and it has not been implemented. Some projects that were initiated in the 2015/2016 Financial Year have not taken off. How can we claim to be moving in the same direction when there is disparity in resource distribution? With those few remarks, I support."
