FORA 2012 is a duly registered legal entity in the Republic of Kenya with affiliates and memberships worldwide. Details of our affiliates are available in the FORA Diaspora page on our website. ObjectivesFORA 2012 is a membership organisation that supports the presidential candidature of The Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga in the 2012 General Elections in Kenya;
Our support for the Candidature of Raila Amolo Odinga is rooted in our humble quest for;
Promotion of Social Justice in Kenya in all its ethical, social and economic aspects. He has fought to promote equality of opportunity, fair distribution of national resources and respect for citizens rights as the basis of a just social policy.
Democracy and Good Governance in Kenya: Raila Odinga has been the driver of the long quest for a new constitutional dispensation that promotes citizens participation in decisions about how they are governed. The way governments and organizations are directed, controlled and governed ensures that they are effective in achieving their objectives. Participatory decision making ensures that the aspirations of our citizens are reflected in our national objectives.
Fostering Unity, Cohesion and Reconciliation of all Kenyans immaterial of tribe, race, colour, creed, gender or religion. Our differences as Kenyans are artificial and have been systematically created by colonialists and short sighted politicians and bigots for short term gain but with disastrous consequences for our nationhood, peaceful coexistence and social cohesion. Raila Odinga has consistently strived to promote a united and cohesive society for common good.
Building Structures that Create Equality of Opportunity for all Kenyans leading to a narrowing of the gap between the rich and the poor and empowerment of marginalised members of our society with emphasis on women and youth.
Creation of Wealth and Prosperity for our Country through effective and ethical exploitation of our factors of production and empowering citizens to generate wealth thus enabling us to build defences against our enemies namely; Poverty, Ignorance, Hunger and Disease.
Fostering Peace and Social Welfare where all Kenyans live in peace in the absence of crime, or external aggression and where people with disabilities, disadvantaged and marginalised groups are uplifted.
Protection of the Environment & Natural Resources: Our generation are trustees who hold the environment and our natural resources in trust for future generations. We seek leadership that will lead from the front on environmental conservation and have zero tolerance to environmental destruction.
Creation of Laws that Serve the Interests of The Many Rather than the Few and that reflects the aspirations of all Kenyans leading to the rule of law, good governance, justice and peaceful coexistence of all Kenyans.
To this end we find that the Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga has demonstrated his zeal and passion through actions and personal sacrifices undertaken with great energy under very difficult circumstances often fraught with risk and miasma to champion our cause.
Our support for his candidature is earned and in our eyes he has passed the six cardinal tests of the high office that he seeks;
Independence: Ensuring and demonstrating the freedom of the office holder from undue influence in decision making.
Openness & Transparency: Ensuring openness and transparency in order that stakeholders can have confidence in the decision making and management processes of the office.
Accountability: Ensuring that all members of the team including the office holder, staff members and members of the governing body are seen to be responsible and accountable for their decisions and actions, including stewardship of funds.
Integrity: Ensuring straightforward dealing and completeness, based on honesty, selflessness and objectivity and ensuring high standards of probity and propriety in the conduct of public affairs and decision making.
Clarity of Purpose: Ensuring that all stakeholders know their role, task and duty in achieving the objectives of their office and are pulling together with other departments towards national goals with clear measurable outcomes.
Effectiveness: Ensuring that the national effort delivers quality outcomes efficiently and represents good value for money.
We wish to invite like minded persons to join our quest to empower our principal to CHANGE KENYA FOREVER.
