Interior and National Administration CS Kipchumba Murkomen has defended President William Ruto’s newly unveiled Kenya’s New National Development Vision: Beyond Vision 2030, saying it guarantees Kenyans a brighter and more dignified future.
“The President is placing development at the centre of his agenda and securing a dignified future for Kenyans. That is why he unveiled the Beyond Vision 2030 agenda yesterday,” said Murkomen.
While dismissing criticism from the opposition, the CS argued that the country’s development agenda must remain firmly anchored in constitutional principles, adding that Kenyans deserve both constitutional freedoms and economic progress.
“The right to life cannot be separated from the right to development,” he said.
Murkomen also dismissed allegations regarding the alleged leakage of information about President Ruto’s address, maintaining that details of the event had been publicly available long beforehand.
The Kenya’s New National Development Vision: Beyond Vision 2030 is a long-term national strategy aimed at translating constitutional aspirations into measurable development outcomes while building a nation founded on the values and principles of the Constitution.
The CS spoke during a thanksgiving ceremony at St. Stephen’s Secondary School in Kagaari, Embu County.
He further defended the Kenya Kwanza administration’s development record in the Mt Kenya region and across the country, expressing confidence that President Ruto would secure re-election in the 2027 General Election.
“We know whether a student is performing well by looking at their report card, and the Kenya Kwanza report card reflects sterling performance,” he said.
The CS was accompanied by Principal Secretaries Dr Esther Muoria (Technical and Vocational Education and Training), Alex Wachira (Energy), Betsy Njagi (Blue Economy and Fisheries) and Eng Joseph Mbugua (Roads), Embu Senator Alexander Mundigi, MPs Muchangi Karemba (Runyenjes) Eng Nebart Muriuki (Mbeere South) Pamela Njoki (County), MCAs, among other leaders.
