THE TONONOKA DECLARATION
The Making of A Constitutional Democratic Republic
We the People of Kenya, gathered here at the Tononoka grounds in Mombasa on this Second day of October, 2016 and cognisant of Article 1 of the Constitution of Kenya which vests sovereign power in the people and in the exercise of our constitutional right to Assembly and Association enshrined in the Bill of Rights and in further fulfillment of Article 91 and 92 of the Constitution, associating ourselves and articulating our aspirations through the Wiper Democratic Movement - Kenya aver as follows:
1. THE MAKING OF A CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
Kenya has evolved through its various episodes of history and generations. The Independence generation fought for our freedom and dignity. The generation of Young Turks fought for political pluralism and a new constitutional order. In our final liberation, the Wiper Democratic Movement will nurture the Constitutional Generation which will be the critical foundation of our Democratic Republic.
Through political programmes and actions and cognisant of Articles 54, 55 and 56 of the Constitution and all provisions that provide for a Gender-inclusive government and/or State, including but not limited to Articles 81 (b) read with Article 27 of the Constitution together with provisions of Article 1 and 10 and Chapter 6 of the Constitution, the Wiper Democratic Movement will guarantee that the Constitution in its letter and spirit is the foundation of our New Republic.
2. THE STATE OF OUR POLITICS
The Wiper Democratic Movement is concerned at the extent to which politics has in the recent past been monetised in an alarming way! The situation is further complicated by ethnicisation, corruption and an acute lack of integrity in our politics. This is making it increasingly difficult for hitherto marginalised constituencies including the minority communities, women, youth and persons living with disabilities to meaningfully participate in the nation’s politics life.
The Wiper Democratic Movement commits itself to providing the political ‘greenhouse’ which guarantees effective, equal and meaningful political participation and competition for all. Through our programmes and actions, the Wiper Democratic Movement will put in place frameworks and guidelines that aide the political participation and competition of minority communities, women, youth and persons living with disabilities. These frameworks and guidelines will eradicate all obstacles that impede meaningful and effective political participation of the marginalised constituencies.
In particular, the Wiper Democratic Movement will upon its election form a 50-50 government with respect to gender to lay the foundation to comply with all demands of the Constitution on gender inclusivity.
3. THE STATE OF THE NATION
The Wiper Democratic Movement notes that Kenya continues to be one of the most unequal societies in the world. This is an assault to the conscience of the nation and a betrayal of the promise of liberty. A nation can never be free when the overwhelming majority of its countrymen languish in the shackles of abject poverty.
The situation is further compounded by fleecing greed and corruption; nepotism, negative ethnicity, hatred and division; indignation of our people; and disregard and lack of respect for our constitutional order. Today, a child born of poverty stands little or no chance in life and nothing is being done to expand opportunities for ‘fair play’ by an increasingly ruthless, reckless and selfish oligarch of nyama eaters.
The Wiper Democratic Movement stands for a just, equitable and democratic order. The Movement is committed to the ideals of Democratic Socialism that seeks to reverse the cycle of inequality. The Wiper Democratic Movement therefore establishes the Vanguard Committee to oversee the overall adherence of the Movement, its structures, its members, elected leaders and aspirants to the Social Democratic faith.
In building a clean government that fundamentally alters the character and nature of our politics, the Wiper Democratic Movement will bar candidates who fail the test of integrity from seeking elective position to deter the cycle of procrastination of the promise of genuine transformation.
4. THE STATE OF THE COALITION
The Wiper Democratic Movement believes that the state of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is strong.
The Wiper Democratic Movement is unequivocal that our Movement Leader, H.E. HON. STEPHEN KALONZO MUSYOKA is the movement’s choice for President of the Republic of Kenya and the best placed candidate to secure victory in the 2017 general elections and lead the nation through the path of transformation.
The Wiper Democratic Movement will therefore hold its National Delegates Conference in the next six weeks to formally endorse the candidature of H.E. Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. In keeping in line with the democratic values of our party, any other member is invited to seek the Movement’s endorsement.
In pursuing Coalition’s preparedness for the 2017 general elections, the Wiper Democratic Movement is resolute the Coalition’s flag-bearer must be named on or before Christmas Day, the Twenty Fifth of December, Two Thousand and Sixteen (25th December, 2016)
