Yesterday, Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi! officially launched the Inuka! Angaza Kura Campaign and Digital Platform, marking an important step towards reimagining leadership and restoring citizen power ahead of Kenya's 2027 General Election.

Bringing together citizens, civil society actors, media, political leaders and governance stakeholders, the launch opened an important conversation: What does alternative leadership look like, and what role must citizens play in shaping it?

Angaza Kura seeks to create space for citizens to identify and nominate preferred leaders, engage in conversations about leadership, share electoral experiences and strengthen democratic accountability.

Because democracy must go beyond choosing leaders every five years. It must be about citizens having a voice in defining leadership, influencing decisions and holding those in power accountable.

The journey towards 2027 starts with informed, engaged and empowered citizens.

Your voice. Your choice. Your leadership.

Nearly 1 in 3 convicted inmates in Kenya's prisons is serving time for a sexual offence, with defilement accounting for the majority of convictions.

According to the latest NCAJ report, 11,108 out of approximately 37,000 convicted prisoners are serving sentences for sexual offences.

These figures underscore the urgent need to strengthen prevention, child protection, accountability and access to justice.

MEN NEED SPACE TO TALK, TOO.

You don't have to carry everything alone.

Honest conversations lead to stronger relationships and timely support.

Reaching out is strength.

Many men are taught to stay silent. That can change.

Safe spaces to talk, listen and seek support build healthier individuals, families and communities.

From a journey that began in 2018 to a major legislative milestone, Steve Nyaga of Kirinyaga Disability highlighted the enactment of the Kirinyaga County Disability Act as a key achievement during their project implementation period. The Act strengthens the protection of persons with disabilities and creates opportunities for their participation in key decision-making platforms.

Building on the progress achieved and lessons learned, we must ensure the gains made in advancing human rights, strengthening grassroots organisations, and promoting accountability continue beyond the project period.
