"content": "Let me not repeat what many people have said. The cancellation of the Adani Group contracts at the airport and the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) stuck out for me. This matter has been going on for a long time. There was displeasure among Kenyans about these contracts. I am happy he listened to the ground and went back to the drawing board so that at the end of the day, we carry out projects that are in the interests of the people and people also have confidence in. Secondly, I was happy he raised the issue of the two-thirds gender rule that has been going on from the time we got a new Constitution which is no longer new. I hope this time he will be the one to deliver this come next Parliament. I believe we should be deliberate to come out with strategies to make us realise this. That is if all parties get together and agree on a formula. I know we have discussed several formulas with women leaders in and outside this House. Our President will be remembered for it once we put our heads together again on how to deliver this come 2027. I was happy he addressed gender-based violence. What has been going on in this country has become alarming. Particularly women and young girls being killed out of relationships with people who are supposed to take care of them. As much as we were saying that men or boys should be mentored on how to manage their emotions and how they can take care under those situations, it is also a lesson to our women and girls. That shortcuts are not there in life. All of us must strive to work hard and avoid situations where we put ourselves in positions like we have seen in the last few years. Corruption is a tired story. We must, as Kenyans and leaders, be deliberate to lead from the front. As we always say, actions speak louder than words. We can say it a thousand times but if there is no result or related action against corruption, it will continue. Our country has been bleeding because of corruption. It mainly comes from procurement. Even though he directed that e-procurement must be enforced by the first quarter of 2025, I hope that in the performance contracts that were signed last week by the ministries and state corporations, this is one of the targets that each must achieve by the first quarter of 2025. Hon. Speaker, in order not to repeat what has already been said by my colleagues, once again, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity. We thank the President for coming out boldly on some of the issues that have been affecting Kenyans. I desire that at least we should see that they are all realised. Thank you very much."

This means that once Kenyans speak, whether positive or negative, they will expect their President to listen to them and respond to their issues. This is positive from the President and we really appreciate that. By choosing to unite the country, the President has taken a very positive direction. There was a time when part of this country was feeling that they were left behind and were not being given a chance in terms of development. Uniting the country in the broad-based Government is a positive thing. The President identified and put forward a number of successes that the Government has implemented. But we are looking at a number of other things that"

"content": "some of our communities are looking forward to from the Executive. The pastoralist communities wants to utilise their mainstay and make it more economical than traditional. In the President's Address we see how the coffee, dairy and sugar sectors have been supported. We are looking forward to the next financial year for the Executive to set up similar meat factories like the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) in these areas that are far from Nairobi. If we can have a number of sub-KMCs like in Turkana where it is said we have the largest number of cows and goats, it will be better. What happens currently is that we transport our livestock all the way from Turkana or many miles away, to Nairobi. Maybe in the next President’s Address, he will give a positive indication on something that has been done in those parts of the country. Hon. Speaker, the other thing that came out of the Address that needs to be tackled in this country is corruption. Corruption is still taking a toll on many sectors of this country. It seems, and this is the feeling of most Kenyans, that the institution that is meant to fight corruption is facilitating corruption because no action is being seen to be taken by it. Kenyans have eyes and see corrupt activities or actions that are being undertaken, especially by the Government and counties, but nothing is happening. So, we are looking up to this institution for action. Lastly, I want to mention something about the way we are doing things."

"content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by the President. The President’s Address tackled many issues affecting Kenyans that had been raised by them. This was a very positive speech because the President mentioned most of the issues that he is going to address and settled the problems that are facing our people. One of the important things that struck me most was the SHIF. We know that the transition from the NHIF to the SHA is one of the most important schemes for the people of Kenya. We know that the scheme is going to cover the people who are employed and those who are not employed. So, our transition from NHIF to SHA will ensure that most of our people will get healthcare services when they require them. This week, I was one of the beneficiaries of the SHA, which was met with a lot of negativity by most Kenyans. I was a beneficiary this week when I had a patient suffering from cancer who was covered entirely for chemotherapy by the SHA. I want to encourage Kenyans to enrol themselves and benefit from this scheme which has been facilitated by the Kenyan government. Another important issue that the President mentioned in his speech was education. We are all impressed by the employment of 46,000 teachers, which will settle the issue of our schools, which are currently facing a shortage of teachers, especially the CBC."
