Babu Owino has brilliantly broken down the pillars of Vision 2030 and reminded us what each of them was meant to achieve for Kenya:
Economic pillar (jobs, productivity, shared prosperity)
Social pillar (dignity, equity, human development)
Political pillar (stability, institutions, rule of law)
Babu’s argument is simple but powerful… if Kenya wants to get to Singapore, then the route must be Vision 2030. There is no other way.
He has also raised a crucial point that we cannot speak of Singapore level prosperity without first fixing the basics. Food security, dignified living, access to opportunity, and a humane quality of life for ordinary are the foundation, and we cannot skip fundamentals and still expect sustainable progress.
On his part, Ndindi Nyoro has grounded the discussion in economic policy, unpacking fiscal choices, investment decision and why they matter. By drawing lessons from the Asian Tigers and their economic models, he has highlighted where Kenya has deviated from proven development paths and where we continue to get it wrong as a country.
