Deputy President Kithure Kindiki took to his social media platforms on Thursday to update Kenyans on the country’s economic progress and the government’s transformative plans for 2025.
In his post, Kindiki pointed to deliberate interventions over the past two years that have yielded steady macroeconomic recovery.
He highlighted key achievements, including the strengthening of the Kenyan shilling against major currencies, significant declines in inflation and interest rates, and the progressive reduction in the prices of fuel and essential household commodities.
“This is the year that the hard and difficult task of transforming our country will start yielding returns,” Kindiki wrote.
He outlined the government’s agenda for 2025, focusing on microeconomic recovery, job and wealth creation, and enhanced household incomes. He emphasized reforms in agriculture, livestock, fisheries, and the blue economy as crucial to stimulating growth.
The Deputy President also noted the completion of key infrastructure projects, including special economic zones, affordable housing, ICT hubs, modern markets, and county aggregation and industrial parks. He expressed confidence that these initiatives would increase per capita income and create economic opportunities.
Additionally, Kindiki highlighted the impact of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program, Taifa Care, and ongoing education reforms, which aim to reduce out-of-pocket expenses on health and education.
“These efforts will leave households with more disposable income and improve the quality of life for Kenyans,” he stated.
The post, which resonated with many Kenyans online, underscores the government’s commitment to building a more resilient and prosperous nation.
