    "content": "This economy is improving despite many challenges like terrorism. In the tourism sector, many hotel bookings are being done at the Coast. There is improvement of the Airport Road, the Dongo-Kundu Road going to the southern side of the Coast and Diani Beach, which is one of the best beaches in the world. All this will improve tourism and spur economic growth. No country can improve its economy without a good road infrastructure. The President indicated that we have done 3,000 kilometres. There is assertion that this came from the previous Government. However, the Government had the mandate to complete the projects which were started like what we have, the Isiolo-Merille-Marsabit-Moyale Road. The Jubilee Government has a right to take credit because they budgeted for these projects. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is the programme of 10,000 kilometres road which will double the kilometres of tarmac in this country. That is a very big step towards improvement of road infrastructure in this country. So, asserting that the Jubilee Government has not done a lot, is not the truth. On the development of technology, we are constructing technical training institutes and about 50 of them are about to be completed including in my constituency. They will train middle level manpower. We have heard that there is a shortage of welders in the oil industry in Turkana. As we start developing the oil industry, we will have trained manpower such as welders to work there. This will be a big step towards industrialisation of the country. There is also a shortage of plumbers in this country."
