How was your experience like getting your National ID. How much was it? What was required? How long did it take? #TukonaSay #SautiyaAmani @ForumCivESA

Big things start with intentional conversations. Last week we met with @NerimaW at @siasaplace to explore areas of collaboration and partnership. Grateful for organisations willing to hold our hands as we grow and create impact. Together, we go further.

Does accountability end at the ballot box? A member of @KariobangiSJC explains how difficult it is to hold leaders accountable, especially at the county level, when citizens believe their role ends after voting. Local accountability work for these civic champions has led to threats and attacks, both from leaders and citizens. @BakeKenya @KICTANet @BarazaLab @KariobangiSJC #influencersanddemocracy #siasaplace #accountability #DigitalSafety

As Kenya heads towards the 2027 General Election, do you know the rules governing campaign financing? From spending limits and lawful donations to accountability and financial reporting, every shilling counts. #Infotuesday

Have you checked the facts? Are you safe? Where would you turn if the threats started? Some political content creators interviewed for our draft baseline said they hold back posts they cannot verify and most of them avoid certain political stories because they fear for their safety. This Friday, we’ll review these findings at the Influencers and Democracy baseline validation. As a political content creator, what are some of your fears? #InfluencersAndDemocracy #accountability #DigitalSafety

With 101 fully registered political parties in Kenya, young people have choices and a stake in how parties are run, who gets nominated and what policies shape the country. #Infotuesday

Comrade Muteti Mulinge has been found. He was dumped last night around 3am in the Lukenya area. He had to walk for a long distance to a shell petrol station where he got a good samaritan who helped him with a phone to call his brother. He is disoriented, weak and injured. He is currently receiving treatment at Sanel Hospital in Mlolongo area. Family, friends and comrades are proceeding there.

Abductions are back!!! During a press briefing, Gloria Muteti made a tearful appeal following the abduction of her brother, Mulinge Muteti, on September 21, 2026 and Collins Otieno on September 23, 2026. VOCAL Africa stands with the grieving families in urgently calling on President Dr. William Somoei Ruto to intervene, end extrajudicial detentions and secure their safe return.

Legacy politicians don’t want change, they want power. In 2024, things changed tho. Its time for generation next. However much we loved Baba, we called the bluff when he dined with Ruto. Days of sychophancy are long gone, now the people need leaders we can co- create & co-design with. Not tribal leaders disguised as “saviors” Kenya needs a leader not a Kingpin !!

It’s almost 20 years since 2007/2008 elections violence. We have been asking Kenyans about their experience then and their concerns as we head towards 2027. Listen to what Kenyans had to say
