The country is set to undergo immense transformation in the next 10 years.
According to president William Ruto, who spoke during the opening of the second annual Kenya Diaspora Investment Conference (KDIC), at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on December 13, the first in command noted those who will be visiting the country after a decade will not be able to recognize it.
“We are a great nation and I am very confident about that and I am very confident about the future I promise you Kenya is going to change; take it from me, 10 years from today, people will come to Kenya and they will not recognize it. We would have transformed this country in a very fundamental way,”
“It is going to take difficult, smart decisions and I promise you we are very well underway,” Ruto said.
At the same time, he defended the government’s decision to privatize 350 state corporations including KICC.
According to him, the government was spending a lot of money in sustaining the entities.
“We are spending billions of shillings sustaining companies. We have 350 public entities that just take money from the budget, we are supporting them. Some of them, nobody can tell you what they are doing,” Ruto stated.
He however noted that he is ready to face the consequences of his actions.
“It is a very difficult decision to make, but I will make the decision, I promise you. I will make the decision and take the consequences because Kenya must move. You can never go wrong by doing the right thing,” Ruto noted.
