    "content": "Look at the capitation money we are giving to primary and secondary schools. I am sure Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee sitting in this House will agree with me. It is a public figure. Capitation was increased to Kshs47 billion. About Kshs32 billion went to secondary schools while Kshs14 went to primary schools. The Budget and Appropriations Committee will agree with me that Kshs260 billion was allocated to specific national secondary schools. I am sure more money was allocated to the infrastructure project. Let me go to the infrastructure. Look at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the new Passenger Terminal 2 was opened and two more are being commissioned. Today, if you walk to JKIA, you will realise that it is not the JKIA of 2010 or 2012. It is more modern and has more space. It has more new terminals. Its passenger handling capacity has increased to 7.5 million passengers a year. Twenty six thousand new street lights were installed across five counties by mid-2016, including far flung towns like Garissa. Today, if you walk along Moi Avenue or Tom Mboya Street, the Kenyan business community consisting of the small-scale vendors and hawkers are doing business as late as 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. About 22,000 primary and secondary schools are connected to electricity. When we took over power, only 2.1 million Kenyans were connected to electricity. Today, I think 4.2 Kenyans are connected. The number has doubled. I will talk about the free maternity services, which is a flagship project of this administration. The President said it well. The free maternity programme has doubled the number of Kenyan mothers who access affordable maternal healthcare. Senior medics, including Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal, who has worked as a Director of Medical Services and Permanent Secretary (PS), can attest to that. When we took over in 2013, only 600,000 mothers were accessing free maternal healthcare. Today, it has doubled. In 2016, 1.2 million mothers access the services.
