    "content": "are areas where the Government should ensure that Kenyans do not suffer from lack of food. For example, in Kitui County and Ukambani in general, it has been dry. I urge the Government to ensure that there is food security so that we do not get food aid. The President also addressed security, high cost of living and corruption. Corruption should be declared a national disaster. I call upon all Kenyans to participate in curbing this vice. If that is done, the country will have resources enough for each and every one of us. A French economist, Frederic Bastiat once said that when plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in the society, over the course of time, they create for themselves a legal system that authorises it and an immoral code that glorifies it. Kenyans believe that this is what has become of their leadership. It is high time that those of us who have sought this work of representation help our people rise against corruption and fight it, so that we have enough resources for all of us. I support the President’s Address to the nation. Thank you."
