The Green Congress Party of Kenya (GCK) Party Leader Hillary Alila insists that this year, Kenyans must unite to build a political and economic system that works if the country is to realize meaningful development in the political, economical and social fabrics of the nation.
According to Alila, the time to embrace green politics in now and the year 2026 will be the breakthrough year where Kenyans, who have for long lived in uncertain times where the country’s flora and fauna are in peril while the country’s political leaders engage in endless political shenanigans at the expense of service delivery
While citing that both local and global economies are becoming increasingly steeped in favor of networked cartels. Politics in our country, according to the GCK Party Leader, is becoming detached and unresponsive to the basic needs of the masses as government continues to operate as a club of the privileged.
“My recent personal engagements with some rural based youth and women reveals increasing sense of frustration and widespread loss of hope. As the English say, ‘every dark cloud has a silver lining’. It is my conviction that the burdens of our time form the foundation upon which we must strive to restore dignity to our people. As party leader of Green Congress Party of Kenya (GCK), I wish to share with you a roadmap upon which we can together walk and achieve our collective dream,” Alila said.
“Collectively, we must ride in the crest of the moment. We must work for the good of humanity. Let us join together and build a political and economic system that works and which we can proudly bequeath our children. For our environment and the health of our planet let us put our hands together and rally around Green ideologies inside GCK,” Alila added.
Addressing the nation’s fidelity to Kenya’s 2010 constitution and its ideals, Alila offered his persuasion that Kenya and the world at large has never been thirstier for politics anchored on social justice and constitutionalism. The universal principles of Grassroots Democracy, Inclusivity and Ecological Sustainability remain critical to the health of the country and these standards remain the North Star that guide GCK.
Alila pointed out that the existential threat facing humanity today is unabated environmental degradation and climate change. The planet is perilously warming and ecosystems fundamentally changing for the worse.
Pandemics, he added, are traceable to our interaction with the environment and buoyed by consumerist market economy that has continued to fun chaos and suffering while politics has increasingly deviating from the fundamental goal of providing lasting solutions to this problem.
“This must change. GCK continues to listen to the voice of the people and the facts of science. We will make sound choices to contribute in achieving Sustainable Development Goals and contribute to the universal goal of protecting future generations from predictable calamities,” Alila emphasized.
He noted that for far too long, Kenyans have been trapped in a political circus with mainstream political parties perpetually chocking under the grip of a few individuals and entrenched cartels. This has created a tragic culture where political leadership and managers of public affairs have fundamentally lost capacity to be transparent and accountable. As a consequence, tax money has over the years fallen captive of these cartels whose appetite for deal money has far overtaken their call to duty.
As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor has increased with the poor drifting further into destitution. In addition, citizens have increasingly been disenfranchised to a point where their votes no longer count.
Alila promised the country that GCK is providing an alternative platform championing a Green Coalition to halt this entrenched and destructive political and economic system noting that we can salvage the disillusioned and hopeless young generation.
“We can protect and conserve our natural resources and most importantly foster equality for all through sound policies and programs. The institutions and the entire architecture which govern and sustain our society should be, and indeed can be, guided by Green philosophies. In our rich diversity we can unite for our own good under the Green umbrella,” he concluded.
Green Congress Party of Kenya is a fully registered political party in Kenya that subscribes to Green Politics Ideologies. The party is actively recruiting members and expanding its networks with an eye on offering a transformative leadership to the country.
