Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration Dr Raymond Omollo has called on Kenyans to actively participate in shaping a new long-term national development vision that will guide the country beyond Vision 2030.
Speaking at Ambassador Pamela Mboya Girls High School in Suba, Homa Bay County, Dr Omollo said the National Conversation on Kenya’s Future Beyond Vision 2030, scheduled to be launched on August 12, 2026, would provide an opportunity for all Kenyans to contribute to defining the country’s next chapter.
The PS said the exercise would bring together young people, students, professionals, political leaders, faith communities, the private sector and civil society in a people-driven process aimed at crafting a national vision that transcends political and electoral cycles.
“We owe it to the current and future generations to have an honest conversation, safeguard the gains we have made and address the longstanding challenges that have held our country back since independence,” Dr Omollo said.
He said President William Ruto’s vision is to transform Kenya into a prosperous, high-income, industrialised and globally competitive nation while ensuring that no community, county or generation is left behind.
Dr Omollo said the government’s commitment to inclusive development was already being demonstrated through reforms aimed at expanding access to national identity cards, healthcare and education, as well as investments in roads, modern markets and other infrastructure projects across the country.
“Development must never depend on how a community voted or where a citizen comes from. Every Kenyan must be treated equally, and every region must receive a fair share of national progress,” he said.
The PS commended Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga and local elected leaders for agreeing to work together to advance development and ensure residents benefit fully from the government’s transformation agenda.
He urged leaders across the country not to allow political differences to undermine development efforts, saying national and county leaders should place the interests of citizens above partisan considerations.
Dr Omollo also addressed students, urging them to remain disciplined, respect their teachers and fellow learners and work hard in both academic and extracurricular activities so as to reciprocate the investment made by the government, parents and communities.
He further praised about 130 eligible students who recently registered for national identity cards through the government’s school-based registration programme, saying the initiative would enable learners to leave school with the documents required to access further education, employment opportunities and government services.
The PS said the government would continue taking registration services closer to citizens, operationalising new administrative units and deploying chiefs and assistant chiefs to strengthen grassroots service delivery, security coordination and access to government programmes.
Those present included Governor Wanga, Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang’, members of the county assembly and other national and county leaders.
