WHAT IS HE THINKING: Uhuru Kenyatta - Is he the dreamer Kenya needs?

When Vision 2030 was launched by President Kibaki in 2008, it set out an ambitious blueprint for a whole new prosperous and globally competitive Kenya. At the time, the idea of transforming our country into an industrialised, middle-income society may have seemed little more than a fanciful hope for the future.

But 2030 is edging ever closer. Fulfilling the vision was always going to depend on individuals beyond the Kibaki administration. It is dependent on those who have long-term aspirations for Kenya and Africa as a whole. It relies upon those who have ambition, confidence and faith in the people of this country. It requires a person with big ideas and the determination to make them happen. In other words, it needs a dreamer. And that man is Uhuru Kenyatta.
