If women's votes matter when leaders are seeking office, then their voices must matter just as much when budgets are prepared, development priorities are set, projects are implemented and public resources are accounted for.

On 2 and 3 September 2026, Transparency International Kenya convened a CSO Assessment Workshop on Digital Tools for Kisumu and Homa Bay Counties to assess the adoption and utilization of the Uwajibikaji Pamoja Platform and the Action for Transparency (A4T) Mobile App.
The engagement allowed CSOs to share experiences, review platform analytics, identify challenges affecting uptake and reporting, and develop recommendations to strengthen tool use. Participants also reviewed progress on previous advocacy interventions and developed new county-level intervention plans to address emerging governance and corruption concerns.
The workshop further strengthened collaboration among CSOs, the media and other accountability actors, reaffirming a shared commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, citizen participation and the effective use of digital tools to address governance concerns.

Young people make up majority of voters in Kenya, yet systemic barriers keep them off key decision-making boards. 🇰🇪
Day 1 of #YouthLegislators2026 pushed for youth seats in party National Executive Committees, IEBC boards & County Public Service Boards. Time to bridge the gap!

Unacheki hiyo project imesimama?
The unfinished road. The stalled hospital. The classroom that was never completed.
Yet the money was allocated.
Last week, under the KAS TUNU Project, TISA convened a consultative session in Kisumu,
bringing together Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Community-Based Organizations (CBOs),
and citizens to strengthen their understanding of the Access to Information Act and how it can
be used to promote transparency, accountability, and meaningful citizen participation.
Participants shared examples of stalled public projects in their communities and resolved that
the time to act is now. They committed to engaging duty bearers through Access to Information
(ATI) requests, petitions, and memoranda to seek answers on project implementation,
expenditure, and timelines.
They also learned that where information is denied or not provided within the timelines
prescribed by law, citizens have the right to seek redress through the Commission on
Administrative Justice (Office of the Ombudsman), the institution mandated to oversee and
enforce compliance with the Access to Information Act.
Every public project is funded by taxpayers. Every citizen has the right to know. Every duty
bearer has a responsibility to account.
Track it. Question it. Demand it.
In partnership with @TIKenya .

We joined Community Led Solutions CBO at ICS College to explore governance, advocacy tools, constitutional and legal frameworks, and their role in advancing accountability and citizen participation. Together, we're equipping young people to drive positive change. #CivicEngagement
We cannot afford the laxity of silence when signals indicate things are not right.
Thanks @ORPPKenya for convening #CSOs this early to begin the all important conversation about elections preparedness ahead of elections next year.

Public accountability is becoming a great concern across our counties as well as in national government's planned projects.

A budget is constitutionally defined as estimates of revenue and estimates of expenditure (recurrent and development).
Unfortunately, Treasury has been presenting a budget of expenditure and Finance Bill but no estimates of revenue. Finance Bill is not the Estimates of Revenue
Join us tomorrow as we unpack yhe facts and figures from the #FinanceBill2026. We must get our facts right so as to enrich the ongoing discourse on FB2026

That attitude should be be hanged in some billboard within Maasai Mara National Park..we don't care. Maybe some animals can relate. – at Masali, Kenya
This may be the first time non-French-speaking Africans are witnessing the full depth of French presidential condescension, but for us it has always been this way. Nicolas Sarkozy walked into a room full of university students in Dakar in 2007 and declared that “ the African man had not yet entered history”.
Emmanuel Macron asked Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, the then president of Burkina Faso, to go fix the air conditioning for him during a 2017 press conference, then proceeded to publicly humiliate Tshisekedi in the DRC in 2020.
These are not isolated moments of poor judgment. They are a pattern. The infantilisation of Africans is not a failure of one French presidential character. It is a feature of French presidential culture, so deeply embedded in the relationship between France and its former colonies that these men cannot suppress it even when the cameras are running and the entire world is watching.
They were never trained to see us as equals. And it shows, every single time, without exception, regardless of which French president occupies the room.
