    "content": "If you look at our country today, Kenya is, indeed, driving the African renaissance in terms of economic matters. I think this is well timed. Just this past weekend, the focus of the entire world has been on this country in terms of seeing Kenya as the new hub for entrepreneurship, innovation and largely productivity. Indeed, we have been doing well. I would like to really congratulate the Jubilee Government because at this point, we have a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of US$53.4billion and per capita income of US$1,246. We had underrated our economy by 25 per cent. Once it was re-based in September, we acquired middle income status. We have been noted to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world. This is the right time for us to focus on the productivity and in the most important sectors. If you go through this Sessional Paper, there are four pillars that it is looking at. One of the pillars is productivity culture. The second pillar is labour market development where there is the issue of technological change, innovation, institutional and legal framework. It has been done well."
