"A growing economy must work for all Kenyan citizens. We will continue to build a middle-income society for the benefit of all. We will work towards high, rapid and inclusive economic growth to create wealth and reduce inequalities and thus improve the lives of all citizens."

Deo Hakizimana, president of the Independent Centre for Research and Initiatives for Dialogue:
