President William Ruto on Thursday outlined key policies and projects that his administration will implement to achieve Kenya Vision 2030.

“The Kenya Vision 2030 stands as our nation’s ambitious long-term development blue-print, designed to elevate Kenya into a newly industrializing, middle-income country, ensuring a high quality of life for all citizens by the year 2030. This vision is grounded on economic, social, and political pillars, fortified by key enablers identified to propel us toward our collective aspirations,” the President said.
