    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On Thursday, 11th July, 2013, Sen. (Prof.) John Lonyangapuo of West Pokot County requested for a statement relating to the implementation status of Vision 2030 as follows. He wanted to know the implementation progress of Vision 2030, the gains achieved so far, noting that the Medium Term Plan (MTP) has ended, the plans for the future and whether the Government was committed to its implementation or whether it would be revised. The response we obtained from the Ministry of Devolution and Planning is as follows. Vision 2030 is the country’s long term development blueprint that aims to transform Kenya into a newly industrialized, globally competitive and prosperous middle income nation with a high quality of life to all its citizens by 2030. Vision 2030 is being implemented through a series of successive five year Medium Term Plans (MTPs). The first MTP should have been achieved between 2008/2012. With regard to the first MTP period, the Government has published four annual progress reports on its implementation. This Financial Year, 2013/2014, the Government will prepare an end term progress report on the implementation of the first MTP. The first MTP of 2008/2012 of Vision 2030 made many considerable achievements including:- (a) In the initial period of the MTP, a number of projects aimed at national healing and reconciliation following the post election violence were implemented. (b) Enrolment in early childhood increased by 40 per cent from between 1.7 million to 2 million in 2008 to 2.4 million in 2012. (c) The transition rate from primary to secondary education increased from 64 per cent to 77 per cent by 2012. (d) The number of students enrolling for university education increased by 103 per cent from 118,239 in 2008 to 240,551 in 2012. (e) A total of 2,200 kilometres of road were constructed during this MTP exceeding the target of 1,500 kilometres. (f) The free undersea sub marine fibre optic networks linking Kenya to the global internet networks were completed, including 5,500 kilometres of terrestrial fibre optic network. (g) The total installed capacity for generation of electricity increased by 22 per cent. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
