    "content": "To tear down the barriers that make our country uncompetitive, we have put up a new oil terminal that I shall be opening soon, and that will accommodate four vessels at a time. Instead of taking a whole day offloading fuel, each of the four vessels will take five hours to offload their fuel cargo. This means that every terminal will handle over 20 vessels a day. Put differently, if the old terminal has handled around 300 fuel vessels per year on average, the new terminal has the capacity to handle 7,300 vessels annually. Coupled with the improved transportation system connecting Kenya with its neighbours, the expanded capacity will boost our regional trade as well as remove the cost of demurrage and penalties that the Kenyan consumer has to pay. Hon. Speakers, most of my administration’s key priorities has been to revive State undertakings that have been designated as ‘dead capital’. I have done this as part of our ‘Big Push Investments’ because the utility of those State undertakings could not be allowed to go to waste. To increase the speed of reviving this dead capital, I decided to use the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) because of their unity of command, military efficiency and reasonable pricing. As an example, after the KDF took over the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), they turned it around in just a few months. Whereas previously it took farmers four years to be paid, they are now paid in 72 hours. The KMC has resuscitated its outlets and currently collects approximately Kshs1 million daily. Previously, those outlets collected Kshs8,000 daily. Mjiulize hiyo pesa ingineilikuwa inaenda wapi?"
