Kenya’s vision 2030 has three
main pillars, economic, social and political. On the economic front Kenya hopes
to improve the prosperity of all Kenyans through economic growth of at least
10% annual growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Socially the country’s
vision is to build a cohesive and equitable society. Lastly, politically Kenya
hopes to have a democratic state based on issue based politics, rule of law,
good institutional governance and protection of fundamental rights and freedoms
for all Kenyans.
I am reading the vision
document and was quite intrigued by the fact that we have pegged our prosperity
to three main pillars. A balance of the three will therefore be critical. We can
be truly prosperous if our economy grows rapidly and consistently, achieve
social equity and have a stable democracy.
An institution or individual
whose goal is to promote any of the three pillars should also keep a close eye
on the other two pillars. For instance civil society should put the state to
account on each of the three pillars. It is only by having a true balance of
the three that we can ensure that every Kenyan enjoys the nation’s prosperity
in a stable society.
