ROADMAP OF THE PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY
MEDIA STATEMENT
The People’s Assembly Organising Committee was launched on Friday December 1, 2017 to
oversee the preparations, develop the content and roadmap as well as provide logistical
support for the People’s Assembly at county and national levels.
1. WHY PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY?
When the people of Kenya gave unto themselves a new constitution in August 2010, their
collective hope was that they had buried a political culture where elections were mere
periodic rituals and ushered in an enduring era of genuine democratic exercises where
their votes count and are counted. These beliefs and hopes have been crushed by divisive
politics that benefits a minority. The country is rapidly and steadily being driven along the
path of autocracy. Instead of electoral democracy, the leadership prefers electoral
authoritarianism. Electoral theft has become the preferred means of attaining the aim of
installing tyrannical rule Kenya. Equally alarming is the emerging trend where some
businesses are profiting from bad governance at the expense of democracy and the people.
It is therefore incumbent upon Kenyans to rise up and defend their hard won constitutional
order. Article 3(1) places an obligation on each of us to “respect, uphold and defend” the
Constitution.
In fulfilling this noble obligation, we the people, are called upon to directly exercise our
sovereignty as affirmed in Article 1 of the Constitution. We are, therefore, happy to unveil
today a full roadmap of THE PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY.
2. GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
The endgame of the People’s Assembly for Kenyans, is to either return to democratic
government by holding a free and fair election within the first half of 2018 or pursue
avenues for self-determination for those who believe in democratic constitutionalism. This
is to be realised through the following objectives:
• Defending the Nation’s Constitution.
• Restructuring institutions of governance.

2. NATIONAL SUPER ALLIANCE
2 | P a g e
• Pursuing and institutionalising electoral justice.
• Insulating devolved governments from national government’s threats.
• Fostering Economic Liberation
The foregoing objectives will be realised through comprehensive deliberations under the
following themes, which will be the subject of working committees:
1. Restoration of Democracy, Rule of Law and Constitutionalism: This will focus
on representation of the people, electoral system, management and institutions
2. Restructuring the Kenyan State: The focus will be on review on the architecture,
structures and workings of the Executive, Legislature, Judiciary, and Independent
Institutions and Offices. The deliberations will also focus on National and Sub
National Security architecture. Questions on the code of conduct of security
agencies and as to whether or not security should be devolved and how, will be on
the table
3. Defending Devolution: The Assembly will look into among other questions,
resourcing and autonomy of county governments, whether the country is ripe for a
full federal system and questions of self-determination.
4. Economic Liberation: There will be focus on the promotion of economic
productivity that engenders inclusivity, equity and social progress.
