Kenyan President William Ruto has unveiled an ambitious long-term vision to transform Kenya into a First World nation by the year 2055, drawing parallels with the rapid development trajectories of Korea, Singapore, and China.
Speaking in Nairobi, President Ruto said his administration is laying the foundation for a prosperous and globally competitive economy through reforms in governance, infrastructure, digital innovation, and industrial growth.
“I have a plan to make Kenya a first world country,” President Ruto said. “Raising Kenya from a third to a first world country will take us 30 years, just like Korea, Singapore, and China. By 2055, this nation will be a first world country.”
The Head of State emphasized that discipline, productivity, and inclusive development will be central to achieving the vision, urging Kenyans to remain focused on national unity and long-term transformation.
The President’s remarks come as his administration accelerates projects under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), aimed at improving livelihoods, expanding industries, and modernizing public services to meet global standards.
