    "content": "Looking at the indicators of economy, it was very clear that our economy is growing strong. Every time we go to our citizens, they ask us how our economy is doing. From today, every Member of Parliament here will be able to say strongly that our economy is performing well. We are the ninth largest economy in Africa. Our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is about US$53.3 billion and per capita GDP is US$1,246. This shows very well that we are moving from a low income state to a middle income state. Therefore, given the remaining three years of this Government, we will be able to move to the First World countries which I had said earlier. When it comes to the steadily expansion of the economy, 6 per cent is not a joke. When you look around the previous years of the development of our economy, it was growing at a rate of 3 or 4 per cent. Now, we are talking about 6 per cent. If we consolidate this growth, in terms of position, Kenya being a non-mineral driven nation, this is quite a tremendous impact on the economy. I believe that our human resource and other factors are major contributors to this. So, I believe that with this kind of human resource which we have in our country, we will move further to entrench ourselves as a tiger in this world."
