Third, the Jubilee administration boasts of having expanded electricity connection especially in rural parts of the country, with it's fourth achievement being that there is enhanced generation and distribution of power.
The Jubilee government also takes credit for having returned vehicle assembling plants. Top international vehicle brands that already have plants in Kenya include Japan’s Toyota, Peugeot that announced its return last year, Germany’s Volkswagen which set up in Thika in December 2016 and the US-based manufacturer Daimler Trucks Asia that is setting its base in Mombasa.
Lastly, the President asserted that there was improved global standing in terms of doing business that has been occassioned by his administration.
