    "content": "people of this country ought to know. We commend His Excellency the President and his Administration for that. From March 2013 when the Jubilee Administration was elected into office to now, users of electricity have increased by a whopping 41 per cent. That is in two years. I want to believe that we will reach 90 per cent in terms of users‟ connectivity to electricity by the end of this first term of the Jubilee Administration if we continue with such an increase. Finally, on electricity, this administration of His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta has also gone to geothermal production. We are now the eighth largest country in geothermal energy production in the world. In two years, there has been an additional generation of 579 megawatts of power. That capacity of geothermal power is not small and I believe that with more exploration in the Naivasha region, exploration of coal in Mwingi and gas on the other side of Lamu, the cost of doing business in this country is surely going to come down. Finally is the issue of funds that have been devolved or decentralised by this administration. There is cash to old persons, orphans, the vulnerable and the disabled. There is also money through Uwezo Fund. All these put together are improvements in the social aspect. It is a way of making the local mwananchi feel the growing economy. I believe this is a move in the right direction and I commend His Excellency and his administration for that. I believe that with our economy looking very positive, it is going to continue growing. We should have more funds going down to the common"
