Top 3 Key William Ruto Policies Priorities for Achieving His Promises to Kenyans
Recently, we have seen the executive involving the
parliamentarians in PGs . The president has held two PG meetings. This an
effort to engage MPs on the key policies that are to be tabled in parliament in
order to drive the governments agenda. The main economic policies include;
1 The water purchase agreement on water and energy for the construction of dams
Proposals are to be designed to allow private investors
construct dams and then distribute the water to the citizen at affordable
prices. This bill will receive booth proposition and opposition. The
proposition will be based on the ability of private investors facilitating
construction dams faster. The proposition will also argue that the government
lacks revenue to facilitate such money-demanding projects.
On the other hand, the opposition will be against the idea of citizen being charged their resources by the foreigners. Similarly, they cite that the investors are hiking their price tag for the construction of the dams. An example can be given by the price tagged on Grand Falls Dam project where the Chinese had tagged a price of 150 billion later the same project was tagged at 500 billion by an UK based investor
2.The privatization bill
The government has indicated its plan to depend more on
private investors to develop its development plan. Policy to reduce government
bureaucracy are to be developed to allow investors to invest in the housing
projects, Agroprocessing investments and construction of roads. This will
develop key policies to allow investors in the Special Economic Zones (SEZ).
3.Housing Bill
This bill seeks to formulate policies that will allow easy
construction of affordable housing units in a more positive environment. This
bill seeks to invite private investors, pensioners and development agencies
invest in the governments housing plan. This bill is based on land allocation
to private investment by the government.
The success of this bills in the parliament will shape the
government development plan. If any bill fails to be approved it will force the
government to device other mechanisms to fund its development agenda.
