Gachagua, Sifuna rubbish Ruto post-2030 Vision as Kenya Kwanza leaders defend it Gachagua dismissed the proposal as an economic distraction. News 17 min ago

President William Ruto's proposal to launch a new long-term national development blueprint beyond Vision 2030 has triggered sharply divided reactions, with opposition leaders dismissing the initiative as an attempt to divert attention from governance failures, corruption and the high cost of living, while Kenya Kwanza allies defended it as a bold and necessary roadmap to secure Kenya's economic future.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, former Chief Justice David Maraga and Jubilee presidential hopeful Fred Matiang'i led critics in questioning the President's credibility to champion another national vision before fulfilling existing promises, even as senior government officials and Kenya Kwanza leaders urged Kenyans to embrace the planned national conversation, arguing that the country's next phase of development requires broad public participation.

A section of Kenya Kwanza leaders has, however, rallied behind President William Ruto's proposed post-Vision 2030 development agenda, urging Kenyans to embrace the planned national conversation instead of dismissing it along political lines.
