If I were President William Ruto’s economic advisor, I would recommend a multi-pronged strategy to address Kenya’s economic challenges while leveraging its strengths. Here’s my actionable advice:

1. Fiscal Discipline & Debt Management

• Reduce wasteful spending: Cut unnecessary government expenditures (e.g., lavish travel, unproductive projects) and redirect funds to priority sectors.
• Debt restructuring: Negotiate better terms with bilateral and commercial lenders to ease repayment pressures.
• Expand tax base (not just rates): Formalize the informal sector, digitize revenue collection, and combat corruption in KRA.

2. Boost Agriculture & Food Security

• Subsidize smart farming: Instead of blanket fertilizer subsidies, promote climate-smart agriculture (drought-resistant crops, irrigation tech).
• Value addition: Invest in agro-processing to reduce post-harvest losses and increase exports (e.g., avocado, coffee, tea).
• Land reforms: Resolve historical land disputes to unlock productivity.

3. Affordable Credit for SMEs & Job Creation

• Lower interest rates: Work with CBK to reduce borrowing costs for small businesses.
• Hustler Fund 2.0: Expand it with conditional grants for youth/women-led enterprises.
• Special Economic Zones (SEZs): Incentivize labor-intensive manufacturing (textiles, tech assembly).

4. Energy & Infrastructure for Growth

• Cheaper, cleaner energy: Fast-track geothermal & solar to reduce electricity costs for industries.
• Public-private partnerships (PPPs): Attract private investment in roads, railways, and ports.
• Last-mile connectivity: Improve rural infrastructure to boost trade.

5. Digital Economy & Innovation

• Scale up Ajira Digital: Train 1M+ youth in freelancing, AI, and coding.
• Tech hubs: Support startups in fintech, agritech, and healthtech with tax breaks.
• Data-driven governance: Use AI to fight corruption and improve service delivery.

6. Export-Led Growth

• Diversify exports: Push Kenyan products (tea, flowers, tech services) into new markets (Asia, Middle East).
• Fix EAC trade barriers: Resolve non-tariff barriers with Uganda, Tanzania, DRC.
• Tourism revival: Market Kenya as a conference & eco-tourism hub.

7. Social Protection with Accountability

• Targeted subsidies: Replace fuel subsidies with conditional cash transfers for the poorest.
• Universal healthcare: Implement NHIF reforms to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

8. Political & Governance Reforms

• Fight corruption: Strengthen EACC, Judiciary, and DPP with tech (blockchain for tenders).
• Devolution 2.0: Ensure counties deliver services efficiently.

9. Green Economy & Climate Resilience

• Carbon credits: Monetize reforestation & renewable energy projects.
• Climate adaptation: Invest in water harvesting and drought-resistant crops.

10. Strengthen Regional Leadership

• Leverage EAC & AfCFTA: Position Kenya as the gateway to East Africa for investors.

Final Thought

Kenya’s turnaround requires tough choices—cutting waste, empowering SMEs, and investing in productivity. The key is execution without political interference.

Would you add or adjust anything?

…oK implement to redeem Kenya’s ruined economy in 2.5 years?
Here is my take

Dismiss entire Cabinet and reconstitute it with people from the banking sector.
Create 2 year tax holiday for new companies
Lower energy costs by drawing up new contracts with Independent Power Producers. This will suppur manufacturing which will in turn create more jobs there by widening the Tax base.

It is impossible to achieve something that is not inherently within you. Goodness cannot arise within that which is bad. He would have to delegate that responsibility to someone else. Also, that which is bad can only delegate to that which is like itself.

For President Ruto to turn around Kenya, he must shade that which is in him and embrace a new man in himself.

1. Eliminate corruption
2. Eliminate corruption - recoup stolen assets
3. Eliminate corruption - redirect recouped stolen funds, and new tax revenue into infrastructure and make finance available to startup business/industry.

Everything else will fall into place with precise perfection - improved quality of life, Job creation, improved agriculture and food production, creativity and innovation, lowered cost of living, quality Education, and health, etc.

At this stage there is absolutely nothing Ruto can do to turn around the shit we are in.
The best thing he can do is to hand over leadership peacefully and leave the country forever.
Thats how bad things are
Next…

I beg to disagree. If Kaongo muuaji hands over power to a visionary leader like Kivutha Kibwana deputized by iron lady Martha Karua, economic healing will be realized within two years.
