President William Ruto has commissioned a team of experts, headed by Professor Anyang’ Nyong’o and Professor Hiroyuki Hino, to formulate a strategic blueprint for Kenya’s development beyond the current Vision 2030 framework.
During a national address at State House Nairobi on July 30, 2026, the President revealed that the experts have submitted proposals outlining a roadmap aimed at transforming Kenya into a high-income, industrialised, and globally competitive economy within a single generation.
Long-Term Vision for Kenya
President Ruto emphasized the importance of a development agenda that transcends political terms, encouraging unity and disciplined execution. He stated that the proposals from the expert team present an ambitious yet achievable path for Kenya to attain developed nation status, contingent on sustained commitment and national cohesion.
Next Steps and National Engagement
The President called on all Kenyans to engage actively in shaping this long-term development charter, which is designed to guide successive governments towards shared goals of prosperity and economic transformation.
Highlighting lessons from countries that have successfully transformed their economies through persistent reforms and strategic planning, Ruto urged the nation to seize the opportunity to chart a new trajectory beyond Vision 2030.
