    "content": "(h) The Judicial and Police Reforms is something Senators are familiar with. They were carried out during this period, including the reforms in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). (i) The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 was also promulgated during this period. There are also other key flagship projects that have commenced, which I will not go into detail. For example, the Lamu-South Sudan- Ethiopia Transport (LAPPSET) Project was also part of it. There is also the railway project from Mombasa to Kisumu whose finances have been obtained. We will commence this soon. There is also the commuter railway within Nairobi City which has partly been completed. Other achievements are the terminals at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the new berth at Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), among other things. Most of this information is available in the website. Regarding future plans, I would like to note that the Government is in the final stages of preparing the second MTP of Vision 2030 which identifies key policy actions, reforms as well as programmes and projects that the Government intends to implement in the period 2013 to 2017. After the official launch of the second MTP, a sessional paper will be prepared and tabled in Parliament for validation and endorsement. This launch of the second MTP was to happen last week, but was adjourned due to crisis. Lastly, the Government tabled Vision 2030 before the Tenth Parliament last year in November, 2012 as a sessional paper. After the Debate, the blueprint was passed as Sessional Paper No.10 of 2012 making Kenya Vision 2030 the official long term development framework for the country. As indicated in the implementation framework, it will be implemented in five-year medium term development cycles which provide the required avenue for taking cognizance of any new development in socio-economic environment or any other pertinent changes; hence, the blue print will not be revised. For example, the second MTP, the 2013 to 2017 one, has added oil and minerals sector in the economic pillar. The national values and ethics and climate and disaster management are in the foundations of the other pillars. That is the response to the hon. Senator."
