President William Ruto’s new 30-year plan to transform Kenya into a First World nation by 2055 has sparked debate, with critics questioning its impact on the existing Vision 2030. This new plan raises concerns about its feasibility and whether it aligns with the nation's previously established development goals.

• Former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu criticized the new plan for potentially hindering progress on Vision 2030, stating that national conversations often prioritize political ambitions over citizens' needs.
• Nelson Havi, former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President, accused President Ruto of lacking focus on core responsibilities, questioning how engagements with leaders like Gideon Moi address issues such as education, healthcare, and unemployment for 15 million youth.
• Critics argue that leaders' focus on the 2027 elections distracts from urgent issues like healthcare, education, and water access that Kenyans need addressed immediately.
