Kenya has launched a national conversation aimed at shaping the country’s long-term development agenda beyond Vision 2030, with leaders calling for a people-centred approach to determining the nation’s future.
Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua joined President William Ruto, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, leaders from the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary, and other stakeholders at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi for the launch.
Mutua said the conversation will provide an opportunity for Kenyans to reflect on the achievements, lessons and gaps of Vision 2030 while developing a roadmap towards 2060.
He emphasised the need for broad public participation, saying young people, professionals, workers, entrepreneurs, religious communities, civil society, academia and Kenyans from all walks of life should have a voice in shaping the country’s future.
According to Mutua, the Constitution provides a strong foundation for the process by outlining aspirations including democracy, strong institutions, quality healthcare, education, housing, food and water security, social protection and human dignity.
He said the key challenge is to translate these constitutional aspirations into tangible improvements in citizens’ lives while creating a development path that extends beyond electoral cycles and political administrations.“The Kenya of 2060 will be shaped by the decisions we make today,” Mutua said.
