Big Four Agenda

The Big Four is an initiative of His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta. It involves Food Security and Nutrition, Affordable Housing, Manufacturing and Affordable Healthcare for all. It is geared towards creating jobs, which will enable people to meet their basic needs. Jobs will transform the lives of the

people from that of hardship and want, to new lives of greater comfort and well being.

“And that is the future I have seen,” – H.E Uhuru Kenyatta

Manufacturing

Jobs will be created by expanding the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing is about believing that we, as Kenyans, can be competitive and ambitious enough, to make products that are as good as any other in the world.

Food Security

The government will bring targeted taxation to bear to put idle arable land to use. It will continue to encourage and facilitate large-scale commercial agriculture to diversify our staples through irrigation and other technologies.

The cost of healthcare still stresses Kenyan families. We can end that pain by providing medical insurance cover for every Kenyan within the next five years.That entails major policy and administrative reforms in the medical sector, to ensure that all of us have access to quality and affordable medical cover by 2022.

Affordable Housing

The government has earmarked that 500,000 more Kenyans will own their homes in the next five years. It achieve this by reducing the cost of mortgages; by cutting the cost of construction through the use of innovative technologies and materials;
