NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 30 – Senator Edwin Sifuna, from Nairobi, has urged President William Ruto to prioritize the promises that brought him to power in 2022, rather than pursuing the long-term Vision 2060 plan. Sifuna stated that the Kenya Kwanza government had five years to deliver on its campaign promises but had fallen short. He criticized the current government for not addressing the pressing issues faced by Kenyans today, such as economic hardships and unfulfilled campaign pledges.

Sifuna argued that Kenyans should not be subjected to another long-term plan until these immediate challenges are resolved. During a tour in Meru, Sifuna denounced the President's plan to write Vision 2060, stating that the opposition would instead focus on developing a plan that reflects the aspirations of a younger generation.

He urged the younger generation to write the future of the country, as the previous administration's plan had failed them.
