What We Do
Constitutionalism and Rule of Law in Political, Economic and social Processes
We seek to entrench the new constitutional order in all aspects of the Kenyan’s lives by encouraging the adoption of laws that are in conformity with the Kenyan Constitution 2010 and education of the public to fully participate in ensuring Constitutional legal framework takes root. The process of implementation is to be felt at all levels and across all sectors and therefore we will work towards promoting a new way of thinking that corresponds with the new laws and ensures that all processes, (political, economic and socio-cultural) are guided by constitutionalism and rule of law.
Human Rights and Gender Parity in National Policies
Under this thematic area, our work focuses on national institutions and community based groups to entrench gender and human rights in peoples’ day to day lives. We will specifically target women and youth to bring them at the forefront of development and ensure that they meaningfully contribute to decision making processes across all levels. Our interventions will be informed by The Bill of Rights in the Kenyan Constitution 2010 to undertake interventions that ensure entrenchment of gender and human rights principles in the fabric of our society.
Citizens’ Participation in Good Governance and Social Accountability
Under this thematic area, we will work towards empowering citizens to be at the forefront of demanding accountability from the duty bearers. This will entail making information available at all levels and promoting the participation of the citizens in decision making processes. Devolution has created many opportunities in bringing services close to the people but at the same time it has created the need for increased vigilance by citizens to ensure that resources are shared fairly and equitably and their respective responsible utilization.
Community Access, Use and Benefits of Land and Natural Resources
Land and natural resources are emotive issues in Kenya that are at the center of most of the conflicts, political or otherwise. The mere fact that land is valued differently in different parts of the country is in itself an issue to be addressed as the proceeds from it should benefit all without some citizens feeling they are sidelined. Under this thematic area, we seek to create a platform where authorities work hand in hand with citizens to embrace reforms in the land sector and promote the fair distribution of the benefits thereof as well as contributing towards the protection of the environment and promoting going green.

Abubakar Zein: Has access to information worked for democratic participation in Kenya?

Has access to information worked for democratic participation in Kenya? This is Muhuri executive director Abubakar Zein’s perspective. He spoke at access to ..."Muhuri rapid response officer Francis Auma, who accompanied the victims to DCI headquarters, revealed that 60 other Kenyans are still stuck in Dubai."

DCI on trail of woman behind Dubai jobs scam
www.the-star.co.ke
Seven people who recorded statement at DCI headquarters implicate Dubai-based Kenyan womanPolice have murdered two people in Shanzu, Mombasa, today evening.
Cops riddled 40-year-old Dickens Juma’s corpse with over 15 bullets, mostly on the chest and head.
Forty-six-year-old Mwithiaru Mtembei’s body had five bullets, many on the head.
We are following up leads to establish circumstances around this murder.
The incident coincides with the visit of United Nations special rapporteur for extrajudicial executions, Agnes Callamard.
Callamard earlier told the press that impunity attached to the use of force by police creates extremely grave danger for society and destroys the trust between people and state (muhuri.org/un-plans-probe-into-touts-murder-inside-changamwe-police-station/).

When Kenyans were tortured and dehumanized in the Nyayo Chambers and detention cells, it was a crime committed by the state. It was state terror.This week we held a two-day paralegal training in Lamu.
The training, attended by 20 locals, was first under Amkeni Wa Kenya II, a project that enhances access to justice, and the realization of human rights for the poor and marginalized.
Guided by the Legal Act 2016, the project puts a strong emphasis on alternative dispute resolution.
Paralegals went through basic legal procedures, a study that will help them offer free para legalism at police stations, courts, prisons, and within communities.
This project is timely and critical for the Lamu community, where, based on cases reported at our county office, the majority of locals are unable to foot legal bills.
United Nations Development Program supports this project under its Programme for Legal Aid and Delivery (PLEAD).

Seven out of over 60 Kenyans swindled out of their millions in a Dubai job scam, have recorded statements at the Director of Criminal Investigation Headquarters in Nairobi.
The group, part of the 14 who returned in the country January this year, and lodged an official complaint with us two weeks ago, had detailed how a Malindi travelling agent coned each Sh200,000, claiming she will offer jobs, some on security.
But the team, which left Kenya in September 2019, faced inhumane treatment abroad – they starved for weeks and received a travelling ban after their return. Some involved in prostitution to make ends meet.
Our rapid response officer, Francis Auma, facilitated their visit at the DCI headquarters today. Statement recordings lasted nine hours.
DCI said its sleuths will be in Malindi to probe and arrest members of the syndicate coning locals.
We ask the government to enforce laws it enacted to protect Kenyans working abroad, which largely remain just on paper.
The laws, majority targeting recruiting agencies, came into effect when the government in 2017 lifted an employment ban it placed against Gulf countries.

Muhuri ED Abubakar Zein is discussing, "Access to information in Mombasa: Does it work for democratic participation?".
Also on the panel are journalists, CSOs, and county officials.
The discussion is being facilitated by the Kenya Correspondents Association (KCA) and Deutsche Welle (DW).
Through our civic education program, which is under the Social Accountability project, we recently facilitated a career guidance forum for 134 Lamu youths.
We guided the group on the best courses based on the results they attained in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). Some had stayed in the cold for at least a year, as they struggled with career options.
The forum aided college and university placement through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), a State Corporation that selects students for admission to institutes of higher learning. We also assisted the youths to initiate government-sponsored education funds.

The suit against BBI: https://muhuri.org/publication/bbi-petition/
@davidmakali1, let's not forget that @OkiyaOmtatah , @MUHURIkenya and @katibainstitute are already in Court on a complex case that shows that #BBI is a creation of a parallel unconstitutional govt and a legal FRAUD.
"Muhuri's @fauma76 said most rogue recruiters prey on unenlightened people in rural areas by enticing them with gifts and promises of a better life abroad."
