It is heartening that the President Kibaki-chaired National Economic and Social Council has given Kenya a thumbs-up in their latest review of the country’s progress with observation that we are on course to economic recovery, with a projected growth of 5.2 per cent this year.
The council, on which local and international eminent persons sit, and at which Kenya’s socio-economic issues are discussed and solutions put forth, has been offering policy direction to the Cabinet since its inception in 2005.
