Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has unveiled a 13-point presidential agenda outlining what he describes as a transformative roadmap to restore good governance, revive the economy, and improve the lives of ordinary Kenyans if elected to power.
The agenda, published online, details Kalonzo’s policy priorities across governance, economic recovery, healthcare, education, infrastructure, security and foreign policy as he positions himself ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In a statement accompanying the launch of the framework, the former Vice President said the plan is aimed at addressing Kenya’s current social, economic and governance challenges while laying the foundation for long-term prosperity.
“This is a comprehensive policy framework anchored on the restoration of good governance, the rule of law and constitutionalism, charting a clear path toward a secure, productive and inclusive Kenya,” Kalonzo said.
Human rights and constitutionalism
At the centre of Kalonzo’s agenda is a commitment to protect constitutionalism, human rights and civil liberties.
The Wiper leader pledged to safeguard the freedoms of all citizens while rebuilding a culture of tolerance, democracy, and respect for dissenting opinions.
He said his administration would prioritize the rule of law and strengthen institutions tasked with protecting constitutional rights and accountability.
Anti-corruption drive
Kalonzo placed the fight against corruption among his top priorities under the banner “Komesha Ufisadi.”
He promised to audit public programmes, recover stolen public funds, and crack down on the misuse of state resources.
According to Kalonzo, resources recovered from corruption would be redirected toward development projects and public services that directly benefit citizens.
The opposition leader argued that corruption remains one of the biggest obstacles to economic growth and efficient service delivery in Kenya.
Economic recovery and cost of living
Addressing the rising cost of living, Kalonzo proposed an economic recovery programme focused on reducing taxes on essential goods and services while stimulating job creation and wage growth.
“Our focus will be on easing the burden on families through practical economic reforms that stimulate growth and create opportunities for all,” he said.
He outlined plans to support businesses, strengthen household purchasing power, and create a more favorable economic environment for investors and entrepreneurs.
Agriculture, SMEs, and tourism
The agenda identifies agriculture, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and tourism as key pillars of economic recovery.
Kalonzo pledged to modernise agriculture through expanded irrigation, improved productivity, and support for farmers.
He also promised targeted investments aimed at strengthening SMEs, which he described as critical drivers of employment and innovation.
In tourism, the Wiper leader said his administration would pursue policies to increase investment, market Kenya globally, and boost earnings from the sector.
Infrastructure and energy plans
On infrastructure, Kalonzo proposed an ambitious plan to improve roads, railways, ports, and digital connectivity across the country.
He also pledged to expand Kenya’s energy generation capacity to 6,000 megawatts as part of efforts to support industrialisation and economic growth.
Access to clean water and reliable internet connectivity also features prominently in the agenda.
Education and healthcare reforms
The former Vice President promised wide-ranging reforms in the education sector, including stabilising curriculum reforms, improving school funding, and aligning education with labour market needs.
He said the government must ensure students acquire skills relevant to emerging economic opportunities.
In healthcare, Kalonzo pledged to restructure health financing systems, improve hospital equipment, and strengthen the welfare of healthcare workers.
He argued that efficient and accessible healthcare remains critical to improving the quality of life for Kenyans.
Social protection and public service reforms
The agenda also focuses on strengthening social protection programmes targeting vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and low-income households.
Kalonzo further promised to restore professionalism and merit-based recruitment in the public service, saying appointments should prioritize competence and integrity.
Security and foreign policy
On security, Kalonzo pledged to strengthen community policing, restore professionalism within the police service, and dismantle criminal gangs.
He also emphasized the importance of regional cooperation and international diplomacy, promising to pursue what he described as an “interest-based foreign policy.”
The Wiper leader said Kenya would deepen engagement within the East African Community and the African Union while protecting national interests internationally.
Early positioning for 2027
The unveiling of the 13-point agenda is widely seen as part of Kalonzo’s broader political strategy ahead of the 2027 elections as opposition leaders begin shaping their policy platforms and governance alternatives.
The agenda is expected to fuel debate over governance, economic management, and the direction of the country as political competition gradually intensifies.
