    "content": "strides in the Big Push Investment (BPI) that the President mentioned yesterday. The Big Push Programme (BPP) has seen the revival of the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), expansion of Kipevu Oil Terminal (KOT) berth and opening of economic towns. The President also touched on the infrastructure projects such as the Lamu Port, dual carriages across the country and especially at Rironi-Mau Summit. The input in the economy has ushered the country to a place where we are now ready to take off in industralisation. The President intends that this country would shorten the period for being an industralised country which has taken many countries several years to reach. The Government is preparing for that take off in a short time. That is why the emphasis is on infrastructure, Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), the dual carriage and tarmac roads in every county. Some counties, as emphasised, are having tarmac roads for the very first time in many years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, most importantly, the President was articulate on the territorial integrity of Kenya, noting that the Government has preserved it. In fact, as the President said, it is intact and encumbered. In other words, the President said he will not allow an inch of Kenya’s territory to be interfered with and he does not need an inch more than it is given to Kenya. God created and gave us Kenya and we must, therefore, protect her and her territorial integrity. The speech is very clear. For those of us who listened through it, we know it was a long speech, but it covered almost every area. Since I want to give Members an opportunity to speak, let me finish up. In conclusion, the President further addressed the achievements of his Administration in the last eight years. In his report, he gave a very detailed account of his achievements and I hope Members can take time to look at it. With this summary of what I think captures the speech of the President and to allow Members discuss this in detail, I beg to move. I request the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Orengo, to second."
