Of those that were alive or born in the year Kenya attained self-determination, only 2.2 million remain in the population. Kenyatta apparently had his work cut out and implementable, with policy cast in Five-Year Development Plan cycles that mainly targeted Ignorance, Poverty and Disease. He continued with the Five-year Development Plan alongside injecting his own social development projects mainly in agriculture, education, healthcare and transport. Some of the programmes have since stalled or changed but the Kibaki 2030 Development Plan still bequeathed large impact in the next two governments. And thus far Kenya continues to walk into the future at 60, a youthful age for a nation with high potential.
