JUBILEE PARTY MANIFESTO

Jubilee government will expand, equip and modernize our security agencies to ensure every Kenyan is guaranteed of their safety and that of their loved ones and their properties
- Empowering our youth
Jubilee government will equip youths with the necessary skills, capital and opportunities to create wealth for themselves through securing local and foreign investment in new factories and giving tax breaks, grants and loans to set up businesses
- A food secure Kenya
Jubilee government will ensure that our agricultural sector can produce food in excess of the needs of our country by encouraging mechanization, irrigation, reviving cooperatives and farmers unions and subsidy for inputs. in addition they will encourage value addition in the production chain and develop suitable marketing support mechanisms for our farmers.
- Social Justice
Jubilee government will ensure that the rights of all Kenyans are preserved through good governance, democracy, and respect for the rule of law and social protection and welfare for the disadvantaged.
- A healthy Kenya
Jubilee government will make sure every Kenyan has access to well-equipped health facilities and well trained and motivated health care workers, in addition to developing systems to support health care and sanitation.
Continued & comprehensive support for maternity & maternal health.Roll out of free medical cover for citizens above 70 years
- Water and Electricity for all
Jubilee government will ensure that Kenyan has access to clean water and sustainable electricity supply by developing necessary policies to encourage investment in infrastructure for water and electricity provision.
- Infrastructure development
The government is expected to extend the SGR from Naivasha to Kisumu over the next two years. It’s also planning to construct several roads, including the expansion of Mombasa Road and Nairobi-Nakuru Highway.
- Education
Launch of free secondary education programme from January 2018.Continued focus on higher education, especially TVETs & Universities.
- Housing
A plan to address urban housing issues, both in terms of quantity & quality – affordable, safe housing
I have tried to look into the two manifestos and realized NASA has long term plan for Kenya. Take for instance job creation .Jubilee plans to offer internships for millions of youths while NASA plans to offer jobs. As you know, internships are temporary and jobs are permanent and pensionable.
The second point is about infrastructure. Jubilee plans to extend SGR to Western Kenya while NAS plans to upgrade SGR to an electric train. They also plan to construct a highway from Mombasa to Malaba.You will again realize NASA has serious intentions of easing traffic jam from Nairobi to Malaba.
Another important issue is about rent. Currently, people living in towns spend up to three quarter of their income on rent. If Raila manages to come up with a policy that will see rental prices drop drastically, it will be a relief for many Kenyans.
Comparing the two manifestos,NASA has more attractive manifesto than Jubilee.
