    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to address the President’s Speech. Let me first take this opportunity to say that the President gave a very well-balanced Address to the nation. It tried to address the concerns of both sides of Government, including the Opposition. It encourages cohesion and peace. A country develops where there is cohesion and peace. So, I support his Address to the nation. His Address to the nation touched on various issues concerning our nation. He actually talked about the Big Four Agenda. It is my hope that the Big Four Agenda will translate to job creation because unemployment is one of the major problems we have in our country. So, we are waiting to see the Big Four Agenda translate to creating more jobs, especially for the youth who have become very desperate. The President addressed the issue of corruption which, up to now, Kenyans feel defeated especially when they perceive that the officers in power, who are supposed to protect them, are not protecting them, but instead are misusing their resources. The country is suffering mainly from high cost of living that is made worse by the constant reports of lack of respect for their resources. So, as Kenyans, we must join the President in the fight against corruption because he will not do it alone. Hon. Speaker, the other issue that the President addressed was food security. It was welcome during this time that we have a long drought because the rains took long to come. There The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
