I am concerned that dictatorship and impunity has been preferred by large proportion of the country’s leadership over democracy thereby rendering political organization the preserve of personality cults and a small clique of sycophants. We are determined that we, as a people, must embrace a new Kenyan Dream through creativity, innovative thinking and pro active participation of all citizens in shaping the destiny of our great nation as PAMOJA TUNAWEZA. We are alarmed that elite dominance has been the norm at national and local level of public participation, while the majority of the citizens remain ignored, marginalized and manipulated for the same political elite during elections as voters and cheering crowds. We are disturbed that the country’s political discourse is normally organized outside a people-centered, social partnership, participatory framework and unifying vision and ideology. We are appreciating that the constitution has not only recognized the role of political parties in governance but also set benchmarks with high standards and requirements for the institutionalization and democratic functioning. Almost all current political parties both in government and opposition (Jubilee and Cord) have failed to show good governance and democracy especially when conducting their own party’s elections and nominations.
