The shift in vision has been made abrupt that every person seeks to address the authenticity of vision 2060 especially at these critical moments that Kenya is experiencing a polarized political situation.
As experts could view it, that policies driving a country are formed by experts and such policies are independent of political affiliations.
President William Ruto launched vision 2060 and formed a committee that would oversee its implementation as well as drawing structural guidelines raises eyebrows.
The backlash received upon the launching is not drawn from political class alone but also from the experts, the same way the voice in this article raise concerns about the pragmatism of vision 2060 when Vision 2030 have not been reached.
Kenya's vision twenty-thirty has just flew away even before the year of the vision itself.
I am tempted to ask one prophetic question that will Vision 2060 be pushed forward should it fail to be achieved?
The reality reckon with is that Kenya might soon turn out to be the vision procrastinator.
Since 2022, Kenya has been yearning to be like Singapore, a dream that political class overly satirizes especially when they rant it on top of their vehicles that Kenya is going to be like Singapore, while another faction critiques in media platforms and rallies.
Having an obsessively admiration of another person is not bad, it turns out that these are just to woo and charge the public yet nothing is being done on the ground that can be felt within the citizens.
Vision 2030, Vision 2060 and other visions to come are for the benefit of a country but not to benefit a selected group.
Politicians perhaps see every loop and explicitly sympathize with the electorates and tries to solve them, until their interests get entrenched in such developmental projects.
How many past project by the previous regimes remain stalled just because of hate and personal indifferences with the current regimes. In Kenya, political tiffs usually exist between predecessors and successors and if not the tribal cards chip in just to name but a few challenges Kenya is undergoing for a project to get completed.
Sinister motives, witch-hunts and selfish interests mars Kenya's political atmosphere to an extent of unfinished projects.
Stalled projects, tribal cards, unpalatable speeches, regionalism among other things still takes centr stage in Kenya yet clearly a new vision emerges.
What has happened with the vision 2030? what are the loopholes that should be imperatively be dealt with?
Visions are not manifestos to get launched with the idea that within a regime it will get achieved. It transcends political and tribal imaginations and that is why it a vision.
When politics becomes the driver of the country's agenda, visions then such visions are just hot hair and are in cul-de-sac. Because the very politicians are going to analyze according to their understanding rather than from an expert point of view. Additionally, media will just invite political leaders to come and denigrate visions based on who launched it, while others will come as 'praise teams' of the incumbent regimes rather than analyzing objectively just because the master fears and loathes defiance and criticism.
Having a vision is quite a marvelous idea whose formulation requires deft players.
Vision 2030 existed and is gone, it became a password, pins, themes and topics but today let's stand up and sing a new hymn "Vision 2060"
