It is time for the electorate to hold elected leaders accountable for the misdeed in our society

The pattern of incomplete development projects across Kenya, funded with taxpayer money, raises serious concerns about accountability and the effective use of public resources. This recurring issue of mismanagement not only drains the economy but also hinders the lives of communities that depend on these projects. Examples include projects like the Ksh 430 million tomato factory in Rombo Ward, Kajiado County, and the Ksh 600 million Naibor-Ilibakei road in Laikipia County, among others. These abandoned or poorly executed projects not only represent wasted resources but also reflect a broader issue in Kenya’s political and social landscape. The critical question that arises is why elected leaders, entrusted with public funds, continue to neglect their responsibilities while public expectations are dulled by tribal loyalty. This analysis will explore the systemic failures, accountability gaps, and socio-political dynamics that sustain this cycle, with a particular emphasis on

The Judiciary is our hope and the last line of defence which is the giver of justice for all

Image
The judiciary is often revered as the last line of defense for civilians, the guardian of the constitution, and the ultimate interpreter of law. Tasked with protecting the constitution and upholding justice, it wields enormous influence. But recent decisions have raised questions, particularly around the judiciary's impartiality, its commitment to constitutional principles, and its role in times of political turbulence. In Kenya, the ongoing legal entanglement surrounding Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua poses a critical test for the judiciary. This saga has not only sparked debates around the judiciary’s independence but also has civilians wondering: why does the judiciary seem willing to bend the law to align with political winds? In democratic societies, the judiciary must act as a neutral arbiter, steadfastly upholding the constitution irrespective of political considerations. But when judicial decisions appear swayed by political convenience, people start question

File a petition rejecting the proposed amendment bill to the constitution for extension of term limit.Visit: active-citizen-ke.vercel.app

The motion in the Senate proposing an extension of the presidential term limit to seven years is a direct affront to the democratic principles enshrined in our Constitution. By seeking to amend the Constitution without following the required procedures, this move not only undermines the rule of law but also threatens the very foundation of governance in Kenya. The term limit, outlined in Article 252 of the Constitution, is a crucial safeguard designed to prevent the entrenchment of power and ensure regular leadership renewal. It reflects the will of the people as expressed in the 2010 referendum when Kenyans overwhelmingly voted to limit presidential terms to two, with each term lasting five years. This provision ensures that no individual, however popular or powerful, can monopolize leadership for an extended period, thus allowing for a healthy rotation of leaders and policies that reflect the dynamic needs of the populace. The proposal to extend the presidential term limi

For the elected legislators to have independent decision making on matters presented to them in their respective floor then the electorate to start interrogating election of representative on independent candidacy

In Kenya’s contemporary political landscape, there is an undeniable sense that elected officials, particularly those in the National Assembly and the Senate, have become entrapped by forces that compel them to affirm almost any policy or directive presented before them, regardless of its merit. One striking case study that exemplifies this is the impeachment debate of the Deputy President. This case exposed the deep entrenchment of political coercion, where political parties, intimidation tactics, and external pressures manipulate elected officials into endorsing decisions they might not personally agree with. The debate over whether to impeach the Deputy President was a glaring illustration of this political captivity. Allegations were brought forward, accusations of gross misconduct and violations of constitutional responsibilities, yet the evidence presented seemed flimsy at best, failing to substantiate the claims. The National Assembly's proceedings, which were mea
