    "content": "Similarly, the four Asian Tigers of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and the Republic of Korea took 25 years to industrialise instead of the hundreds of years it took others. That is why their accelerated growth was called the „Asian Miracle‟. The secret to these „miracles‟ was acceleration. The Asian Tigers, for instance, accelerated the achievement of critical development fundamentals and this allowed them to industrialise at a rate that was faster than normal. They contracted their development timelines by implementing aggressive interventions on multiple sectors of the economy, simultaneously. This reduced the intervals between the phases of industrialisation and allowed them to catch-up with the West. Like these countries, the policy choices of my administration have been about contracting our development timelines through aggressive implementation of projects. We are moving with speed because there is no time like the present to deliver the dreams of Kenyans for a better tomorrow. If the acceleration models worked for the Asian Tigers, who were at the same level of development as Kenya in 1965, they can work for us too. If these countries industrialised in 25 years because of the bold choices they made, we too can set the path for economic transformation and achieve it in record time, especially if we stop stealing."
