Jimi Wanjigi calls Ruto’s Vision 2060 plan ‘fantasy’, demands current scorecard

Businessman and Safina Party leader Jimi Wanjigi has dismissed President William Ruto’s proposed Vision 2060 agenda as 'fantasy', arguing that the President should first account for his government’s performance before outlining long-term plans for Kenya. During an interview on Monday, August 24, 2026, Wanjigi questioned why Ruto was discussing the country’s future decades ahead while the Kenya Kwanza administration is still in its current term.

Wanjigi cited the Mzalendo Tracker, which monitors government promises, claiming that Kenya Kwanza made 243 promises before the 2022 General Election but had delivered on only 26 of them, an 11% success rate. He argued that the government’s current performance should form the basis of any discussion about long-term development plans, dismissing comparisons with countries such as Singapore and questioning the emphasis on a development vision stretching to 2060.
