PREMIUM Ruto’s harsh post-2030 Vision reality check Can Ruto’s new development charter succeed where Vision 2030 fell short? News Just now

According to Mr Mohamed, August 12 is significant since it marks “not the launch of a finished blueprint, but the beginning of a national conversation through which Kenyans will collectively determine the country’s next long-term development charter”.

Prof Nyong’o has defended the proposed National Development Charter, saying Kenya’s pursuit of long-term development planning is not new but a continuation of efforts that were never fully realised.

Nearly two decades later, President Ruto wants to build on that foundation by replacing a government-owned planning framework with a constitution-anchored National Development Charter that he says will belong to Kenyans and endure beyond administrations.
