    "content": "We remain on course to meet the test that Kenyans set for us, but we must admit that we still have a very long way to go and deeper reflection is, therefore, called for. If we were to create the jobs for which Kenyans long, we need investment. When I took office in 2013, my administration promised and delivered in many instances, the most aggressive surge of infrastructure development in Kenya’s history. We know that without radical renewal and improvement of our infrastructure and connectivity, we could not hope to attract the investment that we need to create jobs and prosperity and most of all, to beat poverty. Many of you will recall the success of that first phase of development when we started to build the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) after the 11th Parliament was sworn in. By the time Members returned home to ask voters to renew their mandate, we had brought the SGR to Nairobi. Currently, less than a year since the first train left Mombasa for Nairobi, nearly 700,000 passengers have taken the Madaraka Express."
