An analysis of the three levels of interaction between Kenya and the rest of the world: Kenya and its neighbours (regional), Kenya and other African countries (pan-African), and Kenya in the global context – taking up issues related to trade and globalisation, security and the threat of terrorism, tourism and outsiders’ perceptions of Kenya as a country.

MOVEMENT FOR POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY

WHO ARE WE?

MOPA (MOVEMENT FOR POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY) is a non-partisan coalition of organizations which brings together the independent sector, religious leaders, civil society organizations and other stakeholders to promote accountability of elected leaders

WHY?

MOPA seeks to infuse accountability on the political class from the “bottom-up”. This is because lack of accountability affects the socio-economic development of the country and leads to a culture of impunity and entitlement without focus on the needs of the majority of Kenyans

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

MOPA is an open citizens’ campaign on political accountability where Kenyans can demand and obtain leaders who can be trusted to keep the promises they make

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

  1. In whichever constituency you may be, you can demand for accountable leadership by asking those who seek your vote to sign to the following Charter.
  2. Please contact any of the above organizations and register your support
