Dear Kenyans and country loving people,

It was a great honor to have you all in the Githurai . The Githurai Community and the Githurai Social Justice Centre sends a lot of appreciation.
Going forward, let us come together in one spirit, implement the Katiba 2010 and create grassroots alternatives. Democracy has to be democracy for the people, by the people. An alternative society is possible. The activities of the day involved a people’s assembly, a panel discussion that substantiated several pointers, fun activities, music, a play and bilateral interactions.
Asanteni sana!

Tick-tock…tick-tock!

The alarms all set. Countdown marks two days to go, marking the entourage into the long awaited on the 26th at the Pandpieri grounds. Remember this is an opportunity to harness our energies and generate grassroots solutions through dialogue and conversations, one month into marking fifteen years of the promulgation of the Katiba 2010. The gains, and what the citizen responsibilities look like.

In todays reflection, we invoke Article 43 of the Katiba which states:

(b) to accessible and adequate housing, and to reasonable standards of sanitation;

(2) A person shall not be denied emergency medical treatment.
(3) The State shall provide appropriate social security to persons who are unableto support themselves and their dependants.

Let’s meet on the 26th of July, the has this and more. Let the conversation flow, let the music play. Mapema. See you all! Power!
