    "content": "obliges the growth of new strains of bio-technical cotton as a key area of opportunity for Kenyan farmers. The manufacturing pillar of the Big Four also aims to provide some training ground for our young people to acquire skills and replicate them in light industries. The third intention under the Big Four during this reporting period has been to develop a holistic human capital base. Our intention here has been to expand our health infrastructure and to guarantee that the individual is free from want and free from fear. Similarly, and in support of the holistic individual, I would like to report that measures aimed at achieving food security are already in place. The implementation of the Agricultural Sector Transformation and Growth Strategy is well underway. We have also successfully reformed the Agricultural Inputs Subsidy Programme. If we can achieve this intention of developing a holistic human capital base, we will increase our national productivity and enhance our economic development. The fourth intention of the Big Four under this year’s economic development agenda is the commencement of the journey from being a country of net consumers to a country of net producers. In order to make this shift, we must admit that we cannot experience any significant progress in manufacturing and agro-processing without the building of transport systems and making significant investments in energy. Hon Members, even as we mooted the Big Four intentions, some of us recognized then, as we still recognize now, that the task of ending the indignity of not having decent shelter; the task of enhancing access to Universal Health Coverage (UHC); the task of enabling all who are willing to live in dignity through the sweat of their brow to thrive, and the task of ensuring food and nutrition security would not be completed in a single term of office. That being the case, we give our solemn vow that by the end of 2022, we would have laid an unshakable foundation for the realization of this vision, which is a shared aspiration for millions of Kenyans. As an enabler to the Big Four Agenda, my Government will continue to roll out seminal programmes in response to the needs of businesses both large and small. We are continuously enhancing the ease of doing business and creating an enabling environment for all our enterprises to thrive. Earlier this week, I, commissioned a Transit Shed at the Kenya Railways, Nairobi and dedicated it as the clearing point for cargo imported into the country by our small traders, saving them the agony and inconvenience of delayed clearing of their trade wares as well as saving them considerable financial cost. The dividends of our sustained reforms and investments over the last few years continue to enhance our nation’s competitiveness and ranking globally. We have recorded many milestones thus far, such as Kenya's 80-slot improvement since 2014, with our nation currently ranked at No.56 globally and ranked 3rd in Sub-Saharan Africa on the Ease of Doing Business Global Ranking Report, from a low of 136th globally in 2014. As an affirmation of our place of pride within the community of nations, Kenya now ranks No.1 globally in protecting minority investors and 4th globally in terms of getting credit. The number of companies registered daily has increased by 500 per cent from 30 in 2014 to 200 in 2020, and a daily average of 300"
