PREMIUM President Ruto: How new economic blueprint will be designed Opposition leaders have called the initiative a 2027 campaign tool. News 2 hours ago

In an exclusive interview with Sunday Nation at State House, Nairobi, on Friday, August 21, the Head of State argued that the country risks entering its next five-year development cycle without a long-term destination.

With the next Medium-Term Plan expected to run from 2027 to 2032, President Ruto says it would be irresponsible to begin implementing a five-year development programme whose final two years would fall outside the lifespan of the country's existing long-term development blueprint.

The President argues that the next long-term development framework should convert those constitutional aspirations into measurable national objectives.
