Ruto outlines “first world” vision, pledges infrastructure expansion

President William Ruto has reiterated his ambitious 5 trillion-shilling first-world dream for Kenya, saying the time has come for the country to move from a bottom-up model to an economic freedom premised on three key enablers: strategic human capital development, patriotism, and peace. The head of state who led the nation in marking the 62nd Jamhuri Day celebrations here in Nairobi today said his plan, dubbed the National Economic Freedom Project, is unstoppable.
