Why Vision 2060 must be politics-free
The President should resist the temptation to turn such an important national exercise into a political project. Doing so would only reinforce the growing sense of disappointment that many Kenyans already feel.
The review of a long-term national development blueprint such as Vision 2030 is a routine, yet profoundly important exercise for any administration. President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza Government find themselves at the centre of this historic milestone simply because they are in office at a time when Vision 2030 is approaching its conclusion.
Planning for a post-Vision 2030 blueprint has little to do with the current administration and everything to do with the people of Kenya. Like Vision 2030 before it, the next long-term development agenda should emerge from a highly participatory, consultative and inclusive process involving international and local experts, ordinary Kenyans, and stakeholders from every part of the country.
