LEAKED EMAIL BY MAINA KIAI MOBILIZING CIVIL SOCIETY PLAYERS.....
On behalf of InformAction and
AfriCog, I am pleased to invite you to the launch of a website called,
"The People's Court" tomorrow Friday April 12, at 10:00am at The
Sarova Stanley Hotel.
I am sorry for the incredibly short notice in getting
this to you, but I hope that some of you will attend or send representatives to
the event as a sign of your support for openness, accountability, and the
freedom of expression and information.
The website is a joint project between AfriCog and
InformAction and is an attempt to present in public all the evidence around the
recent elections.
Some of that is from the cases filed at the Supreme Court,
but it will also include material and information from citizens, observers and
others. Citizens will be provided a location to post and send any information
and evidence they gathered so that the complete truth on the recent elections
can emerge.
Importantly, The People’s Court will be an
accountability mechanism on the IEBC and the Supreme Court.
Analysis of the
Court's decision will be posted on the website hoping to engender critical and
constructive discussions on why they took the decision that they did, in the
face of the evidence that will be presented.
The People’s Court gives the
public unique access to all the evidence filed at the Supreme Court in the Civil
Society petition challenging the election process.
By inviting citizen participation, it aims to make
institutions accountable and uphold the high democratic standards of the
constitution. It is also a forum for debate and opinion, celebrating freedom of
expression in Kenya and our vibrant tradition of democracy activism.
Kindly share this with other colleagues who may be
interested.
