The idea of Kenya becoming Africa’s Singapore is no longer a mere talking point floated by President William Ruto. It is a vision that has now received official backing from the Cabinet, following the approval of a Sh5 billion infrastructure fund and a sovereign wealth fund aimed at financing key development projects.
According to President Ruto, Kenya possesses the ability and resources to replicate Singapore’s success, with infrastructure transformation forming the backbone of his vision. During his State of the Nation address, the Head of State said the dream of becoming a new Singapore would be realised through mega-infrastructure projects.
