Walk the Talk: A critical analysis of the legal framework on inclusion of special interest groups

The Walk the Talk report assesses the extent to which the legal framework governing Kenya’s political parties supports the inclusion and participation of special interest groups, defined as women, youth and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

The study has been carried out by the SIDPAK Consortium. Comprising NIMD, DIPD, Oslo Center, Mzalendo and CMD Kenya, this Consortium helps contribute to the development of inclusive and democratic political actors in Kenya and is funded by the European Union.

The report highlights our key findings, and resulting recommendations for legislators, political parties, the Attorney General, the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) and Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. -We hope that our findings will help these bodies to take steps to address the legislation gaps and devise mechanisms for enforcing and implementing the existing policies and laws as we work together to level the playing field for all groups in Kenyan politics.
