00:00 chairman you are bored and the MD and your staff I want to thank you because
00:03 we were here and the progress I have seen now is good work, we would like to say thank you very much to the contractor.
00:11 We are also happy to get so many people who have got a job here. This program of affordable housing, the chair has said twice.
00:22 One, people get a good house to live in. But very, very much, our sons and mothers get a job.
00:35 And so we are very happy with this project. This report has been studied here by the governor, the mothers, the sons,
00:43 they have got a place here to find themselves, so they can educate their children, they can take care of their children. We are very grateful.
00:52 And that is why this program is very important for this country. On top of providing shelter, decent shelter for our people in accordance with the constitution.
01:05 It is creating employment for our young people. And that is why we are here in this program. I want to thank the contractors for what they have done for us.
01:16 Now we are going to continue building. And as the governor has said, we will continue building houses here in Embu.
01:24 Mr. Deputy President, the problem that we have in this country is unemployment. That is the challenge that we have in this country.
01:34 And there are only two sectors that have the potential of employing millions of Kenyans.
01:41 These sectors are the Yuakali sector and agriculture. Affordable housing is one of the key pillars that enables the Yuakali sector to absorb millions of Kenyans by offering them employment.
01:58 Mr. Deputy President, any government that doesn't invest in those two sectors, in agriculture and the Yuakali sector, that government will not pass the test of time.
02:11 The government of William Ruto and yourself, the Deputy President, because you are investing heavily in the Yuakali sector and in affordable housing,
02:21 where millions of jobs are created, I can assure you that the government of Kenya Kwanzaa will rule this country for the next 50 years,
02:30 because you are investing in the right sector that will take this country forward.
