Alliance
of
Believers
Thank
you
my
brother,
Eugene
Wamalwa
for
your
inspirational
speech,
what
a
wonderful
day,
we
gather
today
to
launch
The
National
Alliance..the
Alliance
of
believers.
A
vessel
in
which
Kenya
will
sail
to
the
shores
of
unity,
peace,
harmony
and
prosperity.
A
foundation
on
which
future
generations
will
look
back
and
agree
that
this
was
the
turning
point
when
Kenya
left
the
woes
of
puberty
behind
and
came
of
age
politically.
When
that
which
divides
us
as
a
people
was
abandoned
in
the
interest
of
nationhood;
there
are
no
two
ways
to
this
noble
course
we
pursue.
The
ship
sets
sail
today
and
past
the
storm
we
shall
sail
to
the
Promised
Land.
This
ladies
and
gentlemen
is
your
Alliance.
.The
National
Alliance.
I
take
this
opportunity
to
first
and
foremost
thank
God
Almighty
for
giving
us
the
sanity
to
dream
of
a
world
of
possibilities.
I
thank
the
love
of
my
life
Margaret
and
my
family
for
unselfishly
agreeing
to
share
me
with
all
Kenyans.
They
add
colour
to
my
visions
and
aspirations
for
Kenya.
Im
indebted
also
to
the
architects
of
this
wonderful
establishment;
The
National
Alliance.
Men
and
women
of
humble
means
who
with
nothing
but
great
aspirations
for
this
nation
sat
and
asked
the
little
things
they
could
do
for
it.
The
network
of
volunteers
spread
out
in
every
county
and
village
with
a
single
message
at
heart;
this
Republic
deserves
better.
The
foot
soldiers
who
have
taken
to
the
social
media
to
offer
support
and
proclaim
that
Kenya
is
for
Kenyans.
Believers
who
have
resolved
that
this
course
is
unstoppable.
The
text
of
our
countrys
history
will
not
be
complete
without
a
mention
of
these
sacrifices.
1
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
this
is
a
union
of
the
willing
and
able.
Those
willing
to
believe
that
Kenya
can
take
up
its
leadership
role
in
Africa
as
an
oasis
of
peace
and
prosperity.
Those
able
to
give
their
all
to
bring
this
dream
to
fruition.
Those
willing
to
give
service
for
the
collective
good
in
their
own
little
ways.
Those
able
to
imagine
a
world
of
unlimited
possibilities.
The
ingredients
of
the
national
cake
are
sufficient
to
bake
a
cake
big
enough
for
every
one
of
us.
Let
us
indulge
wisdom
in
choosing
the
bakery
and
the
team
to
bake
the
cake.
Let
us
no
longer
settle
for
mediocrity
and
barren
promises
because
the
pursuit
of
happiness
is
not
the
preserve
of
a
privileged
few.
It
is
a
birthright
for
all
who
believe
in
its
pursuit.
Let
us
look
forward
to
a
brighter
Kenya
with
unprecedented
hope
and
unwavering
commitment
to
change.
One
might
be
tempted
to
ask
whats
in
a
party.
Why
should
Kenyans
trust
The
National
Alliance
as
the
last
best
hope
for
their
dreams
and
aspirations?
Parties
have
come
and
gone
since
the
pre-colonial
era.
That
ideologies
have
been
hatched
and
crushed
even
before
the
ink
has
dried
on
party
manifestos.
Many
are
forced
to
believe
that
parties
are
only
a
means
to
gain
power.
And
to
a
to
some
extent
this
is
true.
The
principles
of
why
political
parties
exist
have
been
greatly
abused
before.
The
National
Alliance
seeks
to
dispel
the
belief
that
politicians
are
bigger
than
party
ideologies.
The
new
political
parties
act
has
taken
up
its
big
brother
role
and
any
party
that
pursues
an
individualistic
agenda
and
personality
cults
has
no
future
in
the
Kenya
of
today.
The
National
Alliance
has
a
firm
structure
of
ideologies
it
subscribes
to
and
these
are
firmly
rooted
in
its
core
believes.
We
are
a
party
that
believes
in
principles
of
African
social
justice
that
are
founded
2
on
progressive
policies
and
ideologies.
We
are
a
party
driven
by
every
day
desires
that
Kenyans
have.
A
collection
of
small
solutions,
which
when
collated
form
a
collective
solution
to
what
ails
Kenya
today.
Ours
is
a
party
whose
engine
is
oiled
with
the
dreams
of
every
Kenyan.
A
party
that
focuses
into
the
future
by
offering
solutions
for
the
problems
of
today
and
emerging
challenges
of
tomorrow.
We
seek
to
dispel
the
notion
that
parties
are
founded
with
the
vision
of
getting
to
power.
The
Alliance
is
driven
by
a
deep
desire
to
fully
implement
the
Constitution
of
the
Republic
of
Kenya
and
the
spirit
of
achieving
the
national
development
milestones
as
laid
down
in
the
Vision2030
agenda.
That
ladies
and
gentlemen
is
what
we
are
asking
you
to
judge
us
on
as
we
move
forward.
We
seek
your
approval
to
tackle
the
core
areas,
which
we
believe
are
critical
for
the
development
of
our
country.
The
government
cannot
always
solve
all
social
problems
inflicting
its
citizenry
but
it
is
the
duty
of
the
government
to
offer
an
enabling
environment
for
citizens
to
tackle
their
every
day
challenges.
We
seek
to
offer
a
unique
approach
to
addressing
recurrent
problems
that
have
stagnated
development.
We
promise
to
address
the
hurdles
that
stand
in
the
way
of
prosperity
for
all.
We
fold
our
sleeves
and
get
on
the
ground
to
listen
to
you,
to
get
your
feedback
and
partner
in
sustainable
solutions.
There
is
no
greater
calling
than
that
which
demands
of
us
service
to
others.
We
break
away
from
the
norm
to
give
you
a
party
that
is
sensitive
to
your
aspirations
and
in
touch
with
your
basic
needs.
When
that
farmer
in
the
bread
basket
of
this
great
nation
is
able
to
fetch
a
good
price
for
her
maize
because
the
government
has
eliminated
unscrupulous
middlemen
and
offered
incentives
for
farm
input
and
3
facilitated
alternative
market
for
her
produce,
there
the
spirit
of
The
National
Alliance
lives.
When
that
young
man
leaves
college
and
is
inspired
to
start
up
a
small
enterprise
with
dreams
of
growing
it
into
a
medium
size
enterprise
offering
employment
to
his
peers
because
the
government
is
willing
to
offer
an
enabling
environment
to
start
up
entrepreneurs;
the
spirit
of
The
Alliance
will
be
there.
When
our
senior
citizens
can
retire
in
peace
knowing
that
the
government
has
safeguarded
their
pension
investment
through
a
revolving
fund
and
a
robust
medical
scheme
that
serves
the
needs
of
the
people
in
a
transparent
and
genuine
manner,
The
National
Alliance
is
alive.
When
our
children,
their
children
and
their
childrens
children
are
assured
of
a
sustainable
planet
because
the
government
partnered
with
the
willing
and
able
to
reverse
the
negative
impact
of
environmental
degradation,
thereby
preserving
the
future,
when
our
constitution
is
used
to
guarantee
them
a
world
of
unlimited
possibilities,
The
National
Alliance
will
have
lived
true
to
its
promise.
When
our
courts
never
shy
away
from
doing
justice,
as
justice
has
the
capacity
to
proclaim
itself
from
the
mountaintops.
We
have
every
reason
to
raise
our
eyes
up
unto
the
hills
and
utter
a
prayer
of
thankfulness
that
our
fundamental
rights
are
protected
under
the
juridical
system
of
Kenya,
The
National
Alliance
lives.
Every
so
often
our
red,
green,
black
and
white
strips
are
hoisted
high
in
the
sky
on
foreign
land.
An
affirmation
that
Kenya
is
a
country
capable
of
competing
and
emerging
the
best
on
the
world
4
arena.
Our
sports
men
and
women
have
marketed
brand
Kenya
in
unprecedented
ways,
sometimes
even
without
local
appreciation.
The
National
Alliance
recognizes
the
role
played
by
sporting
activities
in
developing
a
healthy
nation
and
the
investment
gains
acquired
when
the
victorious
sports
persons
return
home
with
their
spoils.
This
Alliance
will
accord
all
sports
the
seriousness
they
deserve
by
creating
a
network
that
mushrooms
from
the
grassroots
to
the
national
level.
Talent
development,
not
just
in
sports,
but
in
all
areas,
will
be
the
new
frontier
from
where
the
war
on
poverty
will
be
waged.
We
cannot
sit
back
and
wait
for
solutions
that
are
imported
from
abroad.
A
nation
that
is
highly
dependent
on
foreign
incentives
can
only
grow
so
much.
The
National
Alliance
will
lay
emphasis
on
homegrown
solutions
to
problems
afflicting
our
nation
of
Kenya
and
the
Africa
continent
as
a
whole.
We
shall
engage
with
other
leaders
of
the
world
to
foster
bi-lateral
relations
and
negotiate
for
economic
opportunities
that
benefit
Kenya.
Our
sovereignty
is
core
to
our
beliefs
and
safeguarding
it
will
be
paramount
if
we
are
to
gain
respect
and
influence.
We
cannot
start
to
compromise
that
which
is
God
given
for
temporally
gains.
Freedom
is
never
given
on
a
silver
platter.
It
is
fought
for
and
earned
by
those
who
believe
in
justice
and
equality
for
all.
Every
year,
as
we
honour
the
men
and
women
who
loved
this
country
so
much
to
have
laid
down
their
lives
for
it,
we
must
task
the
government
of
the
day
with
the
duty
of
safeguarding
this
freedom.
A
government
that
loves
its
people
must
heed
this
call.
Ours
is
a
country
of
unlimited
potential.
A
nation
that
has
proven
it
can
dust
itself
from
the
ashes
of
tribalism
and
immerse
itself
in
the
5
springs
of
nationhood
and
prosperity.
Of
this
we
ask
you
to
believe.
Of
this
we
ask
you
to
internalize.
Let
us
believe
that
the
power
to
change
this
nation
lies
within
us;
not
just
the
politicians,
nor
the
experienced
and
not
the
international
community
but
within
you
and
me,
all
forty
million
of
us
together.
We
want
you
to
believe
in
the
possibilities
of
a
government
that
cares,
listens
and
delivers
what
it
has
promised.
A
government
that
might
not
always
go
where
you
want
it
to
go,
but
one
that
will
take
responsibility
and
account
for
all
its
actions.
A
government
that
embraces
the
spirit
of
the
new
constitutional
order
and
lives
to
its
true
mandate.
A
government
that
believes
in
you.
The
journey
we
begin
today
is
long
and
tedious.
The
path
we
take
is
littered
with
snares
and
traps.
Let
us
chose
the
path
least
taken:
The
path
of
peace
and
tolerance.
The
path
of
a
issue
based
campaign
and
respect
for
opponents.
Our
actions
in
the
coming
days
and
months
must
speak
louder
than
the
words
we
utter.
Let
us
not
be
drawn
into
name-calling
and
Politics
As
Usual
that
has
been
characteristic
of
previous
electioneering
seasons.
The
National
Alliance
brings
a
paradigm
shift
to
these
elections
and
we
must
be
seen
to
act
differently.
The
National
Alliance
party
officials
are
professionals
of
all
walks
of
life
committed
to
the
party
and
will
not
be
seeking
elective
positions
in
the
forthcoming
election.
This
proviso
is
there
to
ensure
that
the
party
has
only
the
most
committed
and
dedicated
officials.
The
party
will
also
be
developing
its
nomination
rules
in
an
inclusive
participatory
manner,
through
a
series
of
aspirant
forums,
to
ensure
that
they
are
a
free
and
fair.
The
rules
will
also
seek
to
deal
with
6
another
major
political
problem
that
bedevils
political
parties,
that
of
the
winner
take
all.
In
the
past
the
losers
would
be
in
the
political
cold
until
the
next
elections
and
they
would
spend
their
time
undermining
the
incumbent.
The
result
is
that
the
elections
in
Kenya
are
cutthroat
and
inevitably
the
ganging
up
of
the
losers
against
the
victor
ensures
that
our
system
and
society
fails
to
nurture
leadership.
The
party
nomination
rules
will
seek
to
circumvent
this
problem
by
ensuring
that
the
losers
in
the
nomination
process,
having
achieved
a
threshold
of
votes,
would
be
incorporated
at
the
various
levels
of
appointive
positions,
in
keeping
with
their
qualifications,
so
that
no
leader,
able
and
wiling
to
serve
the
people,
is
excluded.
What
that
means
is
that
the
party
would
be
open
to
everyone
without
fear
or
favour.
In
my
career
in
politics
I
can
testify
that
90%
of
the
problems
that
take
place
in
political
parties
in
Kenya
take
place
during
the
nomination
of
candidates.
If
the
fear
of
being
rigged
out
at
the
nomination
stage
is
removed
there
will
be
less
need
for
more
political
parties.
The
accommodation
of
losing
candidates
into
other
positions
would
safe
guard
the
cardinal
principal
of
fair
competition
while
assuring
that
after
the
competition
the
like
minded,
able
and
popular
are
able
to
work
together
for
our
nation
and
its
people,
instead
of
engaging
in
negative
and
destructive
politics.
This
would
allow
the
party
to
grow
and
ensure
its
ideology,
programs
and
policy
are
not
only
developed,
but
effectively
implemented.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
our
ambassadors
of
change
must
drive
this
new
image
of
a
modern
party.
When
all
is
said
and
done,
this
Republic
must
emerge
from
the
next
elections
stronger
and
more
7
united
than
ever.
The
National
alliance
will
spare
no
effort
in
ensuring
this.
In
this
same
spirit
of
unity
The
National
Alliance
is
willing
and
eager
to
work
and
even
merge
with
other
like-minded
parties
to
ensure
greater
stability
and
cohesion
in
the
political
arena.
It
was
once
said
and
I
quote
To
accomplish
great
things,
we
must
not
only
act,
but
also
dream;
not
only
plan,
but
also
believe.
end
quote.
Here
today
we
have
seen
a
dream
being
unfolded,
we
have
seen
the
wings
of
hope
that
can
carry
us
into
the
future
and
beyond.
This
is
not
some
grand
elaborate
design,
no,
on
the
contrary
it
is
very
simple
and
basic,
it
all
about
our
dreams.
We
all
dream,
children
more
so,
but
we
must
now
start
believing
in
the
dream
in
order
to
achieve
great
things
ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
seek
your
blessings
to
offer
a
world
of
possibilities.
An
opportunity
to
draft
the
Kenya
we
want
in
our
manifesto
and
a
mandate
to
implement
the
vision
of
this
new
Republic.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
Its
now
in
your
hands,
the
power
to
truly
attain
that
which
we
all
dream
for
Kenya.
The
foundation
has
been
laid
and
the
masons
tools
are
once
again
in
your
hands.
Let
us
build
a
God
fearing
republic
and
in
so
doing,
the
Good
Lord
of
all
creations
will
bless
this
our
land
and
Nation.
When
historical
injustices
are
addressed
genuinely
and
reconciliation
takes
centre
stage,
healing
is
inevitable.
It
is
only
then
we
realize
that
the
answer
to
true
nationhood
lies
not
in
revenge
or
tribal
animosity
but
in
justice
being
our
shield
and
defender.
Our
wealth
as
a
nation
will
then
be
found
within
us;
within
our
reach
and
within
our
ability
to
tolerate
each
other
and
work
together
towards
a
common
destiny.
If
we
cultivate
unity
and
peace
and
allow
individual
liberties,
then
8
plenty
is
guaranteed
within
our
borders.
The
true
doctrine
of
democracy
dictates
that
governments
are
not
formed
of
some
people
by
some
people
for
some
people
but
rather
of
the
people
by
the
people
and
for
the
people
of
the
Republic
of
Kenya.
This
is
the
core
belief
of
The
National
Alliance
I
would
like
to
reiterate
at
this
stage
that
Jacob
Omolo's
belief,
as
posted
on
facebook,
in
one
nation,
one
people,
one
destiny,
peace
and
prosperity
for
everyone
will
not
be
in
vain
under
The
National
Alliance.
Luzinga
James'
belief
in
a
visionary
leadership
that
will
consolidate
funds
to
the
local
mwananchi
under
an
affordable
repayment
rate
is
well
within
out
reach
as
a
focused
people.
We
believe
the
youth
can
have
greater
involvement
in
decision-making.
It
is
in
the
beliefs
of
all
Kenyans
that
The
National
Alliance
hopes
to
lay
a
strong
foundation
for
today
and
the
future.
Fellow
Kenyans,
a
nation
without
hope
and
a
belief
is
on
the
verge
of
stagnation
and
retrogression.
We
must
keep
believing.
We
must
press
on
with
unparalled
hope.
We
must
keep
vigilance.
We
must
never
lose
focus
of
the
ultimate
destination
as
a
nation.
What
do
you
believe
in?
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
believe
in
Kenya,
and
as
a
constant
reminder
of
my
love
and
commitment
to
our
beloved
country
I
wear
this
wrist
band
with
our
nation
flag
colours
at
all
times;
I
believe
that
we
if
we
put
our
minds
to

we

Ladies
and
Gentlemen,
there
is
no
nation
that
does
not
have
a
history,
but
the
time
has
come
for
us
to
learn
from
history
and
not
wallow
and
live
in
the
past.
For
the
longest
time
the
youth
has
been
told
to
look
up
to
their
elders,
but
now
a
time
has
come
for
the
elders
turn
to
the
youth,
let
us
collectively
carry
the
nation
forward.
The
answers
for
a
better
tomorrow
lies
in
you.
This
party
is
you
and
you
are
the
party.
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you
all,
and
to
say
lets
put
behind
the
past,
lets
move
forward
on
the
wings
of
transformational
change.
I
do
Believe.
Thank
you
God
bless
The
National
Alliance
and
may
God
Bless
Kenya.
