President William Ruto has said 2026 will mark a defining turning point in Kenya’s national journey, arguing that the country has moved beyond uncertainty and is now firmly on a deliberate path toward long-term prosperity. We have set our targets, we have begun the journey, and we now have a clear road map to make 2026 a defining year in Kenya’s history,” Ruto said. Ruto said 2026 would stand out in the country’s history as a moment when Kenya decisively shifted from unrealised potential to measurable progress. “2026 will be a watershed year in the story of our republic, a turning point in our march from promise to prosperity, a year that future generations will look back on and say that is when Kenya changed course,” the President said. We confronted difficulties, carved out opportunities and laid a strong and formidable base for the future of our country,” he said.
