    "content": "We will continue to ensure the orderly strategy of protecting and promoting the interest of our country. My administration is clear about its direction and sense of purpose. It is clear about its economic development agenda for Kenya. When we were campaigning for the leadership of this country four years ago, we were clear on what our plans would be to establish a strong foundation for our country to prosper economically. While appreciating what our predecessors have achieved, we recognised that Kenya needed a transformation to support manufacturing and the knowledge and infrastructure it requires. It is from this transformation that plentiful and decent jobs can be delivered to our youth. To begin the walk towards industrialization, we needed to drastically improve and expand our infrastructure, increase access to electricity and diversify our energy sources. We needed to invest in our health care system and to recalibrate our education sector and make it fit for the future. We needed to strengthen our security and change our policies to encourage investment in industries and light manufacturing. That is what we have undertaken to do as an administration with the support of the Kenyan people. Allow me, Hon. Members, to highlight where we are four years later in keeping our promises and following through on our commitments. As a result of the substantial changes that we have made to our business framework, for two years in a row, Kenya has been ranked as the third most improved country globally according to the World Bank Ease of doing Business Index. We promised that we were to build a new railway from Mombasa to Malaba through Kisumu, and that we would complete the first phase from Mombasa to Nairobi before June 2017."
