My Kenya Campaingn

    

‘My Kenya’ is motivated to proactively inspire a peaceful elections campaign which will assure business continuity after the disruption of business that ensued after the disputed election results in 2008. The business community under the umbrella body of KEPSA was greatly involved in resolving issues around the disputed election results. KEPSA mobilized the private sector and, in consultations with other stakeholders, mounted a spirited campaign towards finding a solution to the crisis. In addition to dialoguing with the main political leaders, pressure was also exerted through paid adverts in the media. This effort therefore contributed to the National Accord.
