2. Office of the President Kenya

Ministry of State for Special Programmes

(Dialogue, Reconciliation, Disarmament and Transformation)

I was appointed on a 3 years contract as Inter-communal Peace Initiatives Co-rdinator, National.

Statement of the problem

After the 2007general election, the violence led to death of over 1,333, over 663,921 were displaced many people were left destitute, without food, shelter, clothing, medicine etc.

The main duties and objectives of my services was to:-

  • To restore peace, security and harmony among the different committees affected by conflict.
  • To provide shelter for victims of post-election violence and promote peace and reconciliation.
  • To promote peace, co-existence and tolerance amongst communities.
  • To promote understanding and cohesion amongst communities.
  • To repair, restore and strengthen relationships amongst communities
  • To consolidate peace so far achieved.

 

Through the peace initiatives I organized and conducted by calling and mobilized all groups in repentance and forgiveness meetings and use of other methods countrywide, I used my convincing interventions strategies, logistics and technical skills, many people turned up to repent and surrendered things they looted during post-election violence and weapons used. This was the biggest sign ever that they opted for a national healing. It brought co-existence amongst the communities.

Surrendered things were millions of crude weapons, all kinds of items looted and ammunitions.
