Dr. Fred Matiang'i has dismissed President William Ruto's proposal for a national conversation on Kenya's development beyond Vision 2030, arguing that the initiative is meant to divert attention from pressing governance and constitutional challenges facing the country.
Matiang'i described the proposed dialogue as "a misplaced priority," contending that the country should instead focus on addressing what he termed constitutional violations, insecurity, institutional decline and a growing trust deficit in government.
The remarks come as President Ruto seeks to initiate a national conversation aimed at shaping Kenya's development agenda as we are approaching the end of Vision 2030, the country's long term economic blueprint launched in 2008, and another road map towards 2060.
