NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 14 – United Nations agencies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have endorsed the government’s development plan, saying it is poised to make Kenya an economic powerhouse in Africa.
As a result, they have offered to mobilise resources and work together with the government in transforming the country.
“We are now dealing with our past short-comings. It will be business unusual from January so that we address almost all the needs that would make Kenya better,” said the UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative Siddharth Chatterjee.

Chatterjee spoke during a UN agency meeting with Deputy President William Ruto.
