The size of Singapore is only 0.12 per cent of Kenya’s landmass, smaller than most of our counties. It has a population of only six million people. It’s a city-state.

Its small size means the best approach to transforming Kenya into a developed country by 2055 is through the bottom-up, making every hamlet, village and county a “Singapore.”
