State House’s top economic adviser David Ndii has punched holes into previous governments’ infrastructure and manufacturing-led economic growth model.
Mr Ndii says the model popularised by the late President Mwai Kibaki’s and retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administrations does not guarantee economic returns and removal of the poor from poverty.
Mr Ndii in a newly-published paper backed by, the Carnegie Africa Program, based in Washington DC, argues that successive State plans to increase the capacity of the country’s manufacturing sector by building new roads and railways and beefing up electricity generation have been futile and do not guarantee adequate economic growth.
