This comes after One Kenya Alliance highest organs Tuesday convened at the Great Rift Valley Lodge to deliberate on the numerous reports submitted by its technical team.\u201cAs the \u201cGREAT RIFT VALLEY DECLARATION\u201d, we hereby unequivocally state that One Kenya Alliance will field a presidential candidate in next year\u2019s general elections. And the candidate is here,\u201d read a statement from OKA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While re-affirming its commitment to building a just, inclusive and prosperous nation, the OKA leaders expressed satisfaction on the progress made saying it was solidly on course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leaders said that OKA was anchored on shared ideals of individual freedom, national unity, equal economic and social opportunities for all.\u201cWe recognize that we carry the aspirations of millions of Kenyans who yearn for a responsive and reliable leadership bound by the rule of law,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the OKA leaders, Tuesday\u2019s gathering will culminate in a collective agreement to roll out an array of joint public engagement activities where they will not only share their agenda of an economic liberation but also demonstrate to Kenyans that they have a unique opportunity to bestow their sovereign power on a responsible and trustworthy leadership.\u201cTherefore, our main vision and mission is to resuscitate Kenya\u2019s economy and hence, we require practical solutions to the economic challenges our people are grappling with,\u201d said OKA Principals.\u201cEmpty narratives and sloganeering on economic models are not the antidote to our challenges.\u201dWith the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report ruling set for this Friday by the Court of Appeal, the One Kenya Alliance said that they will accept and respect the verdict of the courts irrespective of the outcome.\u201cWe wish to restate that our resolve to be the leadership committed to seeing a one united Kenya,\u201d said the leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Alliance also called upon President Uhuru Kenyatta to unleash the full wrath of the law on leaders with a strong affinity for plunder of national resources.\u201cMore than ever, we stand a chance to strengthen institutions mandated to fight graft through adequate funding and protection against interference.\u201d\u201cAdditionally, we must revert to the most fundamental governanceprinciple that must underpin all our economic and social policies: public participation,\u201d read part of the statement.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One Kenya Alliance (OKA) now says it will field a presidential candidate in the forthcoming general elections scheduled for next year.
