    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice in applauding the President for a speech that was well done. One of the first things that I want to appreciate His Excellency the President for is the recognition or reassurance that the state of the nation is strong and that we would continue as a country to thrive by embracing fairness, integrity and the rule of law which should be observed by each and every Kenyan. I want to also state that we are delighted that as a country, our men and women who have gone out to do key functions of this country have continued to excel. I am in particular delighted to note one of the men who have brought honour and glory to this country. Mr. Peter Tabichi, who was recognised as the best science teacher in the world comes from my constituency. I speak before this House to actually applaud Mr. Tabichi for bringing glory and honour to this country. More particularly, I appreciate the constituency where he comes from, Kitutu Masaba where he was originally born before he moved to Njoro. I want also to applaud the President on the way in which he articulated the Big Four Agenda that is, food security, manufacturing, universal healthcare and housing. I also want to join my colleagues who have spoken before me that the policy on housing is an issue that has not been sold out to Kenyans. When you mention housing, the people of Kitutu Masaba would want to understand how they would benefit from this particular project. I also want to say that the President articulated the issue of corruption. Indeed, all of us as Members of Parliament and as a country want to say that we abhor corruption and support the war on it. The only thing that we want to state is that the fight against corruption should be without any selection or victimisation. Why do I say this? I do not want to say that the fight against corruption is targeting a specific person, but the facts and the law should be very clear. This is the more reason I want to applaud the President for saying that corruption will be dealt with based on facts and the law. Nothing like vigilante justice, nothing like witch-hunting, nothing like mob justice, but the law should be allowed to take its course.
