Principal Secretary for Culture, the Arts and Heritage Ummi Bashir has endorsed President William Ruto's initiative to create a new national development blueprint following Vision 2030, emphasizing that the process should be guided by public aspirations rather than political interests. The statement was released on her X account, highlighting the need for a bottom-up approach in shaping Kenya's future.
Bashir called for a national dialogue to ensure that the new plan reflects the needs and desires of Kenyans. This aligns with Ruto's vision to move beyond the previous development strategy, which aimed to transform Kenya into a developed nation by 2030. The initiative is seen as a step towards more inclusive and participatory governance.
The move comes amid ongoing discussions about the country's long-term goals and how to achieve them. While the details of the new blueprint remain unclear, the emphasis on public input signals a shift in how development policies are crafted in Kenya. (peopledaily.digital)
