"content": "commitment suggests an acknowledgment of the severity of this issue and a determination to implement policies that protect women. In addressing inflation, the President claims that there has been a decrease in the prices of basic commodities since he took office. This assertion is significant because inflation directly impacts the cost of living and economic stability. A reduction in inflation can indicate effective economic management and policies that support consumer purchasing power. However, it is crucial to analyse economic data from credible sources to verify these claims, as inflation rates can be influenced by various factors, including supply chain dynamics, Government policy changes, and global market trends. On education, I want to applaud the President's ongoing commitment to hiring teachers, reflecting an understanding of the importance of education in national development by emphasizing empowerment through education. The administration aims to enhance teaching quality and accessibility. This initiative could lead to improved educational outcomes, which are vital for fostering a knowledgeable workforce capable of contributing to economic growth. On health insurance, the Social Health Insurance (SHA) programme offers numerous benefits aimed at providing universal health coverage by encouraging registration in SHA to ensure individuals gain access to essential health services without facing financial hardship due to medical expenses. The emphasis on Universal Health Care aligns with global health goals aimed at ensuring that all individuals have access to necessary health services without experiencing financial difficulties."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me time to contribute. I want to sincerely thank the President, as a person, because I have known him for a long time and we have worked together. He is someone who is committed to ensuring that human beings, especially Kenyans, benefit and improve their lifestyles. However, I have a problem with those people who are supposed to assist the President in realising the objectives that Kenyans are striving for, and hoping to benefit from. For example, you have mentioned coffee in Trans-Nzoia. If you look at what is happening now in Trans- Nzoia, especially with regard to the land issue, you will find that there is a lot of corruption and cartels within the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. They are selling land, day and night. I do not know where they get some of the title deeds they are giving to people yet they are civil servants who are paid by the taxes collected from Kenyans. They are not seeing that. We ask the President to deal with these people. Just like you, Hon. Speaker, and your team in this Parliament, there are many sincere Kenyans who wish to work for Kenyans and help Kenya. There was a time hundreds of Members were fighting in this Parliament. However, everything has been running smoothly since you became the Speaker. Because of your leadership, Members can stay in Parliament up to midnight without any problem. It is not for any other thing. I urge all Committees, their Chairs, and the leadership of this House—especially those who are close to the President—to be bold enough and tell the President the truth. He has to get rid of these people and get the right people who can work. I do not say that all Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries are weak. Some like those in the Ministry of Interior and National Administration are working really hard. Those of us who come from the North Rift can now say there is peace. These people work without problems day and night. They go to the people and listen to them. The people there assist them to troubleshoot problems for solutions. They identify places and corners with problems. Things move. I have read the President’s Speech from the first page to the last. It is brilliant yet no fruits come from there because some people around the President just talk and do not help. Let me hope something good comes out of it. Let me stop there."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by the President. The Constitution requires him to come to Parliament and address the nation on issues affecting this country. For sure, the President addressed many issues of concern to this country and Kenyans. Many of those issues were based on hope. The fact is that we have had a very difficult time during the last two years of his governance and leadership. In addressing the nation, the President addressed very fundamental concerns of our people and country. The improvement of our economy and cost of living is one of the issues he raised. We have, as a country, witnessed improvement of our economy. The fact is that prices of fuel and the dollar have come down. The cost of living, food production, and the prices of food and commodities are coming down. All economic indicators show that this country is heading towards the right direction. This is as a result of the policies and the foundation the President laid since he took over office. As leaders and the people of this country, we all know that the country was doing very badly when this President took office. Now all indicators are that the country is taking a very good direction. Hopefully, we will by the end of this term of five years, go the direction we have taken. We all know the previous two Presidents have tried taking affordable housing, SHA and SHIF head on for the last 20 years. The issues were in all manifestos for the last 20 years. Every presidential candidate promised to implement affordable housing programmes and changing to universal health coverage programmes. They were unable to take that head on. They were unable to take strong positions and decisions on this. I thank the President of the Republic of Kenya, Dr William Ruto, for taking it head on. He has shown leadership and being a very strong leader in taking a strong position on these issues. We all know that there were a lot of fights against implementation of the two programmes; affordable housing and universal healthcare. As I speak and for the first time since Independence, the national Government is undertaking about 1,100 housing units in my constituency. Affordable housing, SHA and SHIF have taken off. More than 70,000 people from Garissa County are registered members of Taifa Care and SHA as we report today. Seven million more Kenyans have joined this programme and we are getting good testimonies from them. They say that the programme is working. This thing would not have taken off had he gone back on the decision he had made on implementing this programme. I hope this country will not let down the President and the people of Kenya. I mean the very poor people who are benefiting from these two programmes. The President talked about another issue: corruption in this country. Corruption is a national security threat for us in this country. We, as a people, of this country must address it. The President or the Executive or this Parliament alone cannot handle it. It is a national cancer that we are all aware of. We must all play our part in ensuring that we fight this thing. Extrajudicial killings and abductions are a very big problem to those of us who are from the northern part of this country. Extrajudicial killings and abductions are very rampant in our region. I hope security agencies of this country have heard the position the President has taken on the issue, that there shall be no more abductions and killing of our people. Thank you."
