For decades, Kenya’s political agenda has been set from the top down—written by politicians, for politicians. This has resulted in hundreds of duplicate, confusing manifestos that serve as broken promises, fueling tribal competition and short-term thinking. We are flipping the script. This objective is dedicated to building The Kenyan Social Contract: a unified, non-partisan, and people-driven policy framework that will serve as the nation’s definitive governance mandate. We are crowd-sourcing ideas, priorities, and solutions directly from wananchi in every ward and county to create one national agenda. This is not a political manifesto. It is a social contract. Its power comes from its origin: it is written by the people, for the people, and is designed to last beyond any single regime, election, or personality.
This objective moves us from fragmented protest to consolidated power. It provides the clear, issue-based target that will force ideology and policy to the forefront of Kenyan politics, making tribal or personality-based campaigns irrelevant. Success looks like: One agenda, one standard, and a nation of leaders who are finally accountable to the people they serve.
The Kenyan Social Contract sets the non-negotiable agenda. Now, we must choose the leaders who will deliver it. Traditional parties vet candidates for loyalty, wealth, and tribal influence. This system has delivered leaders who are accountable to their patrons, not their constituents. We are breaking the gatekeeping. This objective establishes a public, transparent vetting process where aspiring leaders must present their credentials directly to the people. This is the practical application of #AdoptOrStepAside: a forum for accountability, designed to separate genuine servants from opportunistic pretenders.
Aspiring leaders who wish to be recognized as people-centric candidates are invited to voluntarily submit themselves to a public review. The first and foundational step is to publicly ADOPT the Kenyan Social Contract.
The process includes:
Our Promise: We will not tell you who to vote for. We will provide the tools and the platform to separate those who have adopted the people’s mandate from those who have not. We will make it clear who has earned the right to lead and who should step aside.
Success looks like: A new political culture where a candidate’s legitimacy is earned by adopting a public mandate and passing the people’s test of character and competence.
The Contract is set. The leaders have been vetted. Now, we mobilize to finish the job. Objective 3 is the final phase: translating the people’s mandate into political power at the ballot box. We will rally Kenyans behind a single, powerful idea: vote for the leader, not the manifesto. The manifesto is already written. It is non-negotiable. This election is not a choice between 600 different promises; it is a hiring process for the best person to deliver the one agenda we have all agreed upon.
We will educate, mobilize, and empower voters to make the most informed decision of a generation:
Our Promise: We will mobilize the sovereign power of the Kenyan people to elect a cohort of leaders who have already agreed to our terms. We will make it politically impossible to ignore The Kenyan Social Contract.
Success looks like: A government, at every level, populated by leaders who have publicly committed to the same people-driven agenda, creating an unprecedented mandate for unified, issue-based governance
The Contract is set. The leaders have been vetted. Now, we mobilize to finish the job. The people have spoken. The leaders have been hired. Now, we become the bosses. Voting is not the end of our duty; it is the beginning of our oversight. Objective 4 establishes a permanent, transparent system of citizen-led accountability to ensure The Kenyan Social Contract is delivered, not just promised. We will move from episodic election-year excitement to continuous governance, tracking every leader from the State House to the County Assembly against the one agenda they all pledged to uphold.
Our Promise: We will be the people’s audit office. We will provide the tools, the data, and the platform to ensure that every leader is constantly reminded of their contract with the people
Success looks like: A government that operates with the constant, productive pressure of an informed citizenry.
Electing the right leaders is only half the battle. To truly deliver, they need a team of the most competent, ethical, and patriotic Kenyans—not a reward list for political loyalists. For decades, key appointments have been based on tribe, political debt, and “shareholding” in the election victory. This has led to bloated, incompetent, and corrupt bureaucracies that fail the people daily. We are ending the auction of our government. This objective establishes a National Skills and Integrity Database—a non-partisan, publicly vetted pool of Kenya’s top professionals, ready to serve. We will provide every elected leader who has adopted The Kenyan Social Contract with direct access to qualified candidates for every critical role.
Our Promise: We will build the most credible talent pipeline in Kenya’s history. We will make it politically impossible to appoint a corrupt or incompetent individual by always providing a better alternative.
Success looks like: A government where appointments are celebrated for competence, questioned only on performance, and never again decided in tribal boardrooms.
