In a rare display of bipartisan agreement, ODM’s Babu Owino and UDA’s Ndindi Nyoro have both dismissed President Ruto’s obsession with the "Singapore Model" as unrealistic. Speaking on separate platforms, the youthful MPs argued that Kenya cannot copy-paste an Asian tiger’s success without fixing its own structural rot.

"Singapore worked because they killed corruption, not because they taxed people to death," Nyoro said. Owino added, "You cannot build Singapore on a foundation of cowboy capitalism." Their convergence suggests a growing youth consensus across the aisle: the current economic roadmap is fundamentally flawed.
