Kenyan MPs Babu Owino and Ndindi Nyoro have criticized President William Ruto's vision to model Kenya's economic transformation on Singapore, citing fundamental differences in size, structure, and economic realities between the two nations.

• Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro highlighted Singapore's GDP per capita of about USD 90,000 compared to Kenya's roughly USD 3,000, arguing for economic homogeneity in comparisons.
• Embakasi East MP Babu Owino stressed the vast geographical disparity, noting Kenya is about 800 times bigger than Singapore.
• Both MPs suggested that Kenya's economic structure might align more closely with South Korea and emphasized the importance of addressing foundational issues like security and the homegrown Vision 2030.
• Ndindi Nyoro also distinguished between consumer-driven remittances and investment-driven Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
