The 2013 Jubilee manifesto identified 23 key areas, among them, elimination of ethnic division, keeping Kenya safe and secure from terrorists, making the country a strong trading partner in Africa, securing Kenya's legacy as a sporting nation and celebrating its culture.

Also envisioned was the plan to build a healthier Kenya and empower youth and women, among other promises. Uhuru's government had big infrastructure projects lined up, and nothing was going to stop it, not even huge financing gaps.
