Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has dismissed President William Ruto's proposal for a national conversation on Kenya's development beyond Vision 2030.

• Matiang'i argues the proposed dialogue is a "misplaced priority" and a diversion from pressing governance issues.
• He cited alleged constitutional violations, insecurity, institutional decline, and a growing trust deficit in the government.
• Matiang'i called for addressing these fundamental governance concerns before embarking on a new national agenda.
