🍽️ A plate of food tells a story about power.

Who gets to eat? Who goes hungry? And why, in a country where the Constitution recognises the right to food, does access to a decent meal still feel like a privilege?

The Constitution says one thing. Life on the ground tells another story.

So, where exactly is the disconnect?

🎥 Watch our latest conversation, Unpacking the Right to Food:
https://youtu.be/YUFaAjvfKfo

We cut through the noise to unpack what the right to food really means, who is responsible for making it a reality, and what happens when we stop treating food as a favour and start demanding it as a right.

Food is not a favour. It is a right.

It was a pleasure joining the Guild, in partnership with , for an institutional dialogue on the challenges surrounding complex and high-risk public financing.

Alexander Riithi, highlited why meaningful accountability begins with access. Journalists cannot explain what they cannot access, interrogate what they cannot understand, or verify what institutions are unwilling to share.

Public institutions have a responsibility to make information accessible, respond to questions and engage the media as partners in ensuring citizens can make sense of how public resources are raised, borrowed and spent.

From Parliament and the Auditor-General to the Controller of Budget, investigative and anti-corruption agencies and the Judiciary, accountability is an ecosystem. Every link must work.
And ultimately, public debt is not just about figures, percentages or economic jargon.

It is about the Kenyan who pays taxes. The young person looking for a job. The patient looking for medicine. The child who needs a classroom. The citizen asking whether public resources are actually improving their life.

The question is simple: How do you interrogate and verify what you do not know?

A rant from a Kenyan taxpayer!!

The Ministry of Campaign Logistics has officially unveiled Phase One and it comes freshly carved from solid mahogany.

A politician just handed out a Mwiko in nyanza!!

Forget job creation or lowering inflation. Transformative leadership now means handing voters a huge tactical mwiko capable of stirring a fifty-Kilogram pot of ugali.

We moved from branded lesos to wheelbarrows, and now we have achieved peak campaign evolution: industrial kitchenware.

The message to the electorate is crystal clear. Politicians might not reduce the price of unga, but they will personally supply the heavy machinery needed to turn it into a meal.

TISA TISA Day 2026 | We Celebrate the People

At TISA we are the Office of the Citizen.

A place where citizens can claim their rights, question power and demand accountability.

We put equity and inclusion at the centre, starting with those most vulnerable, and work to ensure every citizen has the power and opportunity to shape the decisions that affect their lives.

Today, we celebrate the people who speak up, organise, participate and hold power to account. Democracy is not just about choosing leaders. It is about having the power to shape what happens next.

Achievieving full implementation of the constitution requires the government to provide timely, accessible, and accurate information at all times when CITIZENS DEMAND and not hide behind institutions and approvals.

Most of our work as Tisa Kenya, we try to break down information that is either provided in very technical terms to break it down in a manner that citizens can actually understand and relate to and at times, some of the information that we seek is actually not in the publicly available.

Above all today, should serve as a reminder of if the governement does not provide adequate information in a manner that citizens can understand, it makes it very difficult for us to adequately participate in constitutionalism.

Sixteen years ago today, we stepped into a new dawn with the 2010 Constitution.

Today, our Katiba hits sixteen. A teenager now.
We have seen genuine progress. Devolution reshaped local governance. Rights are clearly anchored in law. Citizen voice has legal teeth. That matters, and it is worth celebrating.
Still, a document cannot feed a family. A constitution on paper does not automatically lower the cost of living or end impunity. When power shifted down to the counties, corruption followed right behind it. Human rights abuses still happen, and the gap between legal promise and daily reality remains wide.
Is it a Sweet 16?

Not quite. It is a daily tug-of-war. The Katiba gives us the tools, but making its promise a reality depends on citizens who refuse to quiet down or settle for less.

Happy Katiba Day. Celebrate the gains, guard your rights, and keep pushing for the full promise.

The keynote address by Oliver Waindi, Executive Director of Uraia Trust, cut straight to the core of Kenya's constitutional experiment.

“Constitutions have always been about one fundamental question but how much power should those who govern have over those they govern?

Our journey as Kenya has been marked by this struggle, from the concentration of power in the presidency, the fight for multiparty democracy, to the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution that sought to fundamentally change the relationship between citizens and the State.

Now, our constitution is a teenager. Old enough to ask difficult questions. Independent enough to challenge what doesn’t make sense. And still growing.”

-Mr. Oliver Waindi - Executive Director
