Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Mulele Ingonga has urged Kenyans to embrace civic responsibility, national cohesion, and active citizenship as the country prepares for the August 2027 General Elections.
Speaking during the launch of the Mimi ni Mkenya initiative, Ingonga described the initiative as both timely and necessary.
“This initiative comes at a critical point in our country’s democratic journey,” he said.
He added that fostering an informed and engaged citizenry is essential to safeguarding the integrity of Kenya’s electoral processes.
The DPP further highlighted that the objectives of the Mimi ni Mkenya initiative are firmly rooted in the Constitution, pointing to Article 10 on national values and principles of governance, Article 38 on political rights, and Article 81 on the conduct of free and fair elections as the key constitutional pillars underpinning the initiative.
“These constitutional safeguards must be upheld not only during elections but throughout the entire electoral cycle,” he emphasised.
His remarks reflect a growing momentum among state institutions to lay the groundwork for a peaceful, credible, and participatory electoral process well ahead of the 2027 polls.
