Bane of Kenya Kwanza's Big Five agenda as regime enters second 18-month phase

To get a feel for public sentiment today, take the recent launch of the Fourth Medium-Term Plan (MTP IV) under Vision 2030. After much kicking and screaming, Kenya Kwanza has finally translated its self-congratulatory manifesto ("The Plan") into an actual plan. Finally - 18 months into office - we have a basis for monitoring and evaluating actual delivery without having to rely on crowd-driven announcements made from car rooftops or in church and funeral services.

But, lo and behold! Across both social and mainstream media, we have collectively spent about five minutes dissecting, discussing and debating MTP IV as the target on Kenya Kwanza's back, and the articulation of their promise to deliver for Kenyans.
