Kenya is at a turning point.  Our political freedoms have proved inadequate without our economic freedom. We can’t live a lie anymore. We must build a new political order based on our constitutional economic order statecraft.

Building a strong domestic economy is important. We are living in a new transactional, fragile, and unpredictable world order. In such an ambiguous global environment, Kenya must make clear choices. Countries without futuristic strategies rooted in preparedness, vigilance, and realism will be left behind. We must see the world as it is emerging. Change is unavoidable.
