NAIROBI – The National Agenda Party of Kenya (NAP-K) has called for a renewed social contract rooted in justice, equity, and inclusive governance.
Commemorating the historic milestone of Kenya’s independence on June 1, 1963, the party urged citizens to reflect on whether the promise of self-rule has delivered dignity, prosperity, and equal opportunity for all.
In a statement released on Madaraka Day, NAP-K emphasized that true independence extends beyond political power.
“It must mean food security, equal opportunity, accountable leadership, and inclusive economic empowerment,” the party ssid.
While honoring the sacrifices of Kenya’s forebears, NAP-K expressed concern over persistent challenges such as inequality, youth unemployment, corruption, and ethnicized politics, which continue to hinder the nation’s democratic and developmental progress.
The party called for a national conversation to address the unfinished Agenda 4 reforms from the 2008 Serena Talks, which followed Kenya’s post-election crisis.
“These reforms focus on critical issues like land justice, institutional integrity, poverty eradication, and civic inclusion. NAP-K stressed the need to move beyond symbolic celebrations and embrace a governance model that prioritizes people over politics,” it said.
NAP-K reaffirmed its dedication to advancing issue-based politics, promoting youth and women in leadership, championing Pan-Africanism and anti-racism, and ensuring accountability through social audits and civic education.
The party urged Kenyans, particularly the youth, to organize and drive a democratic movement that reclaims power for the people and builds the Kenya they envision.
“Madaraka Day is a reminder of our collective responsibility to reimagine a nation where justice and equity are not just ideals but lived realities,” NAP-K stated.
