Ensure full implementation of the new Constitution. Ensure the country is self-sufficient in food production. Ensure people have access to employment and are productively engaged.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND A PROMISE:


As Prime Minister, I have devoted myself to looking for ways of advancing all Kenyans. National food security has been a major concern, and I have made determined efforts to seek means of combating climate change and protecting our environment. Besides leading the push for a new Constitution, I have also spearheaded progressive foreign relations that are bringing investment to Kenya in many fields, most recently in the vital area of power-generation. I have negotiated many projects and investments that will create jobs as we industrialise. Trade and business will be liberalised and expanded, with the aim of improving the lives of all Kenyans. That is MY promise to YOU.

All these measures will restore sanity to our nation

FRIENDS! This is my message to every single one of my countrymen and women. I speak to YOU personally:
When I launched my presidential bid in 2007, I said we must invest heavily in one, two, three things: 1, Infrastructure! 2, Infrastructure! 3, Infrastructure! We have seen the result in, for example, road-building, accelerated growth through ICT, and irrigation projects. We have made a hard-won start. The new ODM Government will extend this work across the whole nation. As I launch my bid to be your President in Kenyas 11th Parliament, I want to tell you that, as the new ODM Government continues with its infrastructure objectives, we shall again invest heavily in one, two, three things and this investment will be for the primary purpose of creating wealth and sharing funds equitably across the entire country. We shall invest in:

1,JOBS!

2,JOBS! 3,JOBS!
Though we are moving, our economy remains far below what it should be.

I know that every one of the ills in our country has its roots in POVERTY.
When we talk of social insecurity, and poor and desperate people turn to petty crime to survive, we know it is as a result of poverty. When we talk of corruption and poor policing, muggings, and extortion by criminal gangs, we know it is as a result of poverty. When we talk of border insecurity, cattle-rustling, attacks on neighbours, and land clashes, we know it is as a result of poverty. When we talk of poor health and education, poor local production and food-insufficiency, we know it is as a result of poverty. In addition to our job-creation programme, ODM will initiate other means to close the gap between haves and have-nots, as well as revolutionising social security. WE SHALL:
expand the social safety-net programmes that we have already begun to implement ensure everyone has access to the quality education and healthcare they need revamp the criminal justice system reform the police force by improving police conditions and finally ending the forces colonial legacy as a brutalising agency. The police force will become a pro-people national agency of assistance and security.

ODM WILL TRANSFORM ALL THIS TO LIFT PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY
