Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Address. From the outset, I want to appreciate His Excellency the President for the Speech to the nation and the two Houses of Parliament although the spirit of the Speech did not capture some of the issues that were really of concern to many Kenyans.

On the issue of universal healthcare, according to the policy of the Government, we are supposed to have 90 per cent coverage by the end of the term of this Government. However, according to what we are seeing, we will be far short of that. We do not seem to have a concrete way forward in terms of ensuring that every Kenyan has access to social health insurance that will make them access health services with an insurance cover.

These people are given safe havens at the military camps. We asked the military officials whether they are aware of them and they told us that they are not. We want the incoming IG to stop those kinds of extrajudicial killings and disappearances. We believe that if we want to fight terrorism, we must use the law. We must not use illegality to respond to illegality. Our problem is that we do not find any difference between this mysterious force, which we believe is from an arm of Government and the Al Shabaab because they operate in a similar way. ...

Meanwhile, we still want to ask the incoming IG, once approved, to investigate those extrajudicial disappearances in the Coast region, North Eastern region and Nairobi County.
