We have seen a transformation of this Republic in terms of the so many roads that are being built here in Nairobi and in several other counties. Indeed, from 2013 up to now, this Government has done more in terms of infrastructural projects vis-a-vis all other governments combined. We all know the impact of the Last Mile Project. We now have more households, which are currently benefiting from that program vis-a-vis all other presidents and governments, combined. They cannot reach that stage. We now have thousands of young children who are able to go to school. We all credit His Excellency Mwai Kibaki for the free primary education, but many children used to reach Standard 8 and fail to transit to secondary school. Currently, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Government has introduced free secondary school education for our day school going children. We are now having almost 90 per cent transition to high school. That to me is positive. Madam Deputy Speaker, university education has been expanded. We currently now have more than 60 universities. When I joined the university in 1999, I had finished high school in 1997. I had to wait for two years. However, through the reforms of His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, students are now joining universities immediately upon finishing high school. You only stay for about six or seven months then you join the university. Let me also laud His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta---"
