Deputy President William Ruto is considering three proposals from his economic advisor David Ndii which would form part of his bottom-up economic revival and 2022 manifesto. "I proposed three issues to be added to the blueprint - free healthcare, deregulation of the economy to spur growth and free lunch to school children," Ndii told Nation.

The information technology agenda was part of President Uhuru Kenyatta's and his deputy, William Ruto's 2013 manifesto. This is aligned with Ruto's bottom-up approach which he argues is better than the trickle-down economy which excludes millions of Kenyans.
