@tendasasa @USAIDKenya @Badili_A @Isiolo_CEED @CGW_Kenya @KenyaCsi @silnyaga @daniellebotti1 @DPkalya @TransformFor @Midrifthurinet @CTLKenya I can see Peter Rono from CDL, Good work bro.

[godfrey Kipsoi @GodfreyKipsoi]

Very true. Community budget champions are playing an important role in guiding budget conversations

[John Kinuthia @jkinuthia08]

Anyone can read and understand budgets. Over the years at @IBPKenya have continuously developed simple guides that can be used by CSOs and citizens in Kenya to analyze government budgets and inform the decisions under consideration. https://t.co/XsyIbesgpY

Today we held an inception meeting with stakeholders on project dubbed increasing access to justice through AJS in Baringo

[godfrey Kipsoi @GodfreyKipsoi]

Implementation of AJS policy frame work is improving delivery of formal Justice System in Kenya. We only need to enforce the human Rights Principles and our Constitutional Values @AJSKenya

[Alternative Justice Systems Kenya @AJSKenya]

Did you know that alternative justice processes are affordable, flexible, and effective ways of reducing congestion in Kenyan courts?

Listen in 👉https://t.co/qjjv3S9Lry as #AJS champions from various communities share their success stories. #ajsconference #AJSpolicyKE

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @KibetBoss @karugakevin Most of public participation forums are hijacked by political players who view this forums as a chance to front their own interests.

Most developmental projects are however implemented by proxies

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @KibetBoss @karugakevin I sit in the Nyeri CBEF which should link mwananchi to the budget process. Unfortunately, we still have low capacity among the non state actors to effectively deliver on our mandate.

3. In light of the transition period we are in, what should citizens do to sustain their budget priorities?

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @KibetBoss @karugakevin Sustained demand with sustained or consistent priorities by communities

They publish PP dates or call for written submissions but never upload the docs yet expect citizens to participate objectively.

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @KibetBoss Being part of the citizenry... we need to remind eachother that despite the political noise and music... we still have duty bearers in public offices who should deliver.

That is where the focus should be and be sustained. #RiftValleyBudgetHub

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @KibetBoss @karugakevin @NyeriAssembly @County19Nyeri The Coalition is made up of CSOs in Nyeri in different sectors. There's a demand from the CSOs themselves for an understanding of the budget. They plan to plug this into their community engagement programs

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @KibetBoss @karugakevin Let us all endeavor to twist political campaign commitments to have a budget lense

[Evans Kibet Boss @KibetBoss]

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @karugakevin As we engage with aspirants of elective positions, let's analyze and challenge their manifestos (including the many good-looking promises) with the budget lenses. The knowledge gathered through our budget research should inform voter education #RiftValleyBudgetHub.

[godfrey Kipsoi @GodfreyKipsoi]

@IreneNyivah Through budget champions and community budget cells, Citizens need to consider strengthening monitoring of budget implementation moreso on service delivery

[Nyivah_irene @IreneNyivah]

@cedgg_2001 @mtetezimasese @IBPKenya @MsMathai @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @oduopuot @GodfreyKipsoi @KibetBoss @karugakevin Continued monitoring by budget facilitators and budget champions to ensure that their budget priorities are adopted

@NelsonChapter @cedgg_2001 @MsMathai @jkinuthia08 @WillisSumbah @IreneNyivah @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @mtetezimasese The document submitted to Baringo County Assembly was not in a PBB format, but line-item. The County Assembly it circulated through the CSOs & during the assembly led deliberations. It was thus difficult to link the numbers to our service delivery aspirations #riftvalleybudgethub

@cedgg_2001 @MsMathai @jkinuthia08 @WillisSumbah @NelsonChapter @IreneNyivah @raccemaurice @ron_peter @VincentTannui @mtetezimasese Despite the charged political environment, Budget Champions in Baringo kept the community engaged in the budget process. They engaged the #BaringoCountyAssembly through analysis of the estimates and submission of memoranda. *the role of budget champions...#riftvalleybudgethub

[godfrey Kipsoi @GodfreyKipsoi]

@Pwagutu The pig question is also to check on the level of citizen participation in the budget process and find out how County Governments are utilizing public participation reports to inform County development priorities

[Wagutu @Pwagutu]

Are County Governments and County Assemblies adhering to principles of Public Participation in this electioneering period?
#RiftValleyBudgetHub

[godfrey Kipsoi @GodfreyKipsoi]

How then to we ensure this happen both in County and national budget process

[Centre for Enhancing Democracy and Good Governance @cedgg_2001]

Welcome to our tweet chat themed sustaining budget engagement in the electioneering period.
