President William Ruto’s Singapore Dream Isn’t Working—Here’s Why | Kwame Owino

Big promises. Massive spending. But where are the results? From the Standard Gauge Railway to affordable housing to the Social Health Authority, William Ruto’s administration has pushed an ambitious economic agenda—yet delivery is increasingly under question. Once rooted in a “bottom-up” model and now framed around Singapore-style transformation, the strategy is facing growing scrutiny. Key projects are yet to show a clear impact. The new infrastructure fund—financed through the sale of state assets—is raising concerns around transparency and investment decisions. Meanwhile, plans for a sovereign wealth fund remain on hold, with Kenya still missing critical benchmarks. This week on Corporate Cocktail Africa, Kwame Owino joins Ondiro Oganga to break down what’s really going on—and what it means for Kenya’s economic future.
