    "content": "country, that was a tall order. We must congratulate our leaders that we held together. That is what brings about the BBI. The President also spoke extensively about the Big Four Agenda. I think some of these Big Four Agenda are also captured in Vision 2030. I do not see why we want to force some things, especially the housing project which is already creating a lot of issues. The manner they are doing it is not going to resonate very well with Kenyans, especially given that Kenyans are over-taxed. If people are going to be taxed again for the housing project… I think the Government should look for an alternative way of funding this project if it has to do it. Alternatively, the Government can just lower or remove some of the levies on the materials that people use for construction. That will help reduce the cost of construction and people can build their own houses. The other thing that we must look at - and which is captured in the Big Four Agenda - is health. In this country, we have a lot of issues. People are dying of opportunistic diseases, and hospitals are in a very sorry state. We must look at it so that, as a country, we can invest in areas that are going to help the people. The people of this country deserve the best. Since Independence, 50 years down the line, we must look at what we have done and what we can leave when we exit from the stage."
