"Kenya has immense potential for growth, modernisation and prosperity. Growth that leaves no one behind; modernisation that secures our future for generations to come; and a prosperity that we can all share and enjoy.
Alongside you all, Jubilee has been hard at work across this country and laid the foundations for a vibrant and modern Kenya that provides us all with the platform to achieve our true potential. This work continues.Employment creation is at the heart of the next Jubilee administration’s priorities. We commit to creating at least 6.5 million jobs over ve years to ensure that our people, particularly our youth, can secure and maintain good jobs that enable them to enjoy a decent life. We will concentrate investments in the sectors that are growth oriented and job creating. We are building a 21st Century hi-tech industrial revolution in Kenya. Our plan is to continue to developour nation’s transport, ICT and energy infrastructure so that Kenya attracts global industry and, with it, a huge expansion in sustainable, high quality, hi-tech jobs for everyone, young and old.The Jubilee government has already delivered improved security, economic stability, jobs, expanded access to a ordable health care and modernised public services. We must now redouble our e orts to build upon the foundations of success. The task is not yet complete. The work must continue and should not be derailed.I seek to continue to serve as President of our great country because I have the vision, experience, skills and trust to deliver the stability, continuity and responsible governance that our country needs at this critical moment in our development journey. As the past four years have shown, when I promise – I deliver. With this manifesto, I present to you our plan for how we will continue to make the aspirations of us all, and for our nation, a reality.Our commitment to the people of Kenya is to continue to work with all Kenyans to build on these strong foundations; to create more and better jobs; to raise the living standards of every Kenyan; end inequality and lift even more Kenyans out of poverty. Together, we will ensure sustainable development and shared prosperity for all Kenyans in a prosperous, caring Kenya.Together we have made giant strides in the last four years. We have put Kenya on the path of social and economic take-off. Let us vote the Jubilee party back in order to maintain the momentum we built and ensure we take Kenya to the next level.It has been an honour and a privilege to lead this great nation for the last 4 years. I believe my Government’s record is worthy of support and I ask you for your vote on August 8th 2017."
