Our tourism sector continues on a recovery path largely due to improved security in the country and effective tourism promotion strategies. We have significantly eased the burden of medical expenditure. As a result, more Kenyans are accessing specialised treatment than ever before. We have also made education more inclusive and sensitive to the country’s skills demands by expanding the free education programme to include free day secondary education, introduce a new curriculum that focuses on nurturing talent and delivering new and upgraded technical training institutes across the country. Finally, more vulnerable Kenyans are benefiting from cash transfers, especially our senior citizens, orphans, vulnerable children and persons living with disabilities.
