Kenya's vision 2030 unattainable

The pronouncement by the Ministry of education that learning in all public primary schools will be interrupted come Thursday is uncalled for. As a country, how dare we waste a day of learning, oblivious of the compulsory recess come 28^th February to 11^th March, just to pave way for political parties’ nominations? This portrays Kenya as a country that value not education. If the trend goes on like this, then vision 2030 is inconceivable. Come to think of it, vision 2030 is meant for whom? Not that I am against setting goals but in this case, I beg to defer.

We have positioned Kenya as a country that thrives on hopes and dreams. That’s why a few people will sit and decide we need a vision. This by all standards, is an attempt by our leaders to keep the have-nots busy hoping for the best as they, the leaders, enjoy the fruits of the country. To be true to ourselves, visions without action are fantasies’ that make a man in trouble feel good for the moment. One is even left to wonder if developed nations had such departments to arrive at where they are. I doubt.

Why waste public resources to put up a division headed by a fully-fledged C.E.O? Yet we cannot even finance our annual budget without help from outside. Nonetheless, the government is busy importing goods that surpass our exports by far margins. On this, do we need a C.E.O to advise? To know that we are being duped, ask yourself how old you will be come 2030. Even the crop of leaders who set this plan, I doubt if they will be strong, if not dead to stand conviction on botched plans.
