What Kenya Stands to Gain from a Transitional Government

by Fredrick Okango
July 23, 2024

Transitional Government

In totality, the pursuit of political stability and reconciliation in Kenya is linked intricately to several unresolved historical economic, social, and political injustices that have led to a series of demonstrations by the famous faceless, leaderless, and tribeless Gen Z movement. Moreover, opposition Coalition Azimio, ruling Coalition Kenya Kwanza, and ‘Party Less’ Gen Z exhibit a confluence of unfavorable politics, an unpopular administration as well as angry youth.

Henceforth, going by the public rage in the country and unending Gen Z protests; there has been the emergence of a transitional government as a compelling alternative to the so-called dialogue or status quo. This statement perfectly illustrates that despite numerous changes both in the executive and legislative branches, significant continuity has characterized Kenya’s political history.

At such political instability and violence as currently witnessed in Kenya, transitional governments have emerged as a promising solution to navigate the uncertainties. Transitory governments can help create foundations for peace stability and democratic governance by temporarily assuming power and facilitating necessary changes.

These interim administrations often prioritize restoring security, promoting reconciliation, building public confidence, and implementing necessary reforms to rebuild state institutions and foster political inclusivity.

Kenya is a country plagued by reoccurring election violence, tribalism, corruption, nepotism, and embezzlement of public funds. The formation of a transitional government could be an appropriate means of addressing foundational problems and laying grounds for lasting peace and development in the nation.

Therefore, before implementing this strategy Kenya must undertake an all-inclusive examination of the potential advantages as well as challenges associated with transitional governments as a mechanism for conflict resolution and political transition.

Evaluation of the Political Situation in Kenya Today

For good reason, Kenya is a very difficult state to evaluate. The devolved national administration service approach has been one of the important efforts to take decision-making powers at the local level. Nonetheless, on the ground, what is witnessed is an elaborate bureaucracy, budgets that are underfunded, and weak accountability mechanisms. These challenges limit governance and management practices thus obstructing quality service delivery to citizens.

Our political history is complicated by media blackouts, citizen surveillance, disappearances, arrests, and detention without trial of suspected government critics. Social media platforms such as WhatsApp and X-spaces have been embraced cautiously as safe havens for political participation due to fears of constructive criticism against the government. Against this background, the government’s attempts towards building participatory democratic institutions suffer from distrust as they try to build subnational democratic processes.

The current political scenario encompasses dramatic transformations and ongoing challenges where President William Ruto wants to address both historical and present concerns. Ruto’s campaign was centered on the “hustler” narrative, appealing to marginalized groups and advocating for economic empowerment and equality of opportunity​ for those at the bottom of the pyramid. A promise that has been broken.

Kenya continues to grapple with deep-seated ethnic divisions that have historically influenced its political environment. Devolved Corruption, high youth unemployment, deep poverty, social inequality, wastage of public resources, and ballooning public debt have been normalized. Economically, there are no signs of resurgence even with interventions by the Bretton Woods institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The recent protests over proposed tax increases highlight the public’s frustration with these issues. Addressing the political and socio-economic challenges must therefore remain a priority for Ruto’s administration as he strives to create a more inclusive and prosperous Kenya​.

Implementing a transitional government in Kenya could provide a framework for addressing the country’s political, economic, and social challenges. This approach involves creating an interim government to guide the nation through a critical period which might offer several benefits to the Nation.

Potential Benefits of a Transitional Government

In the current context of Kenya’s political landscape, the establishment of a transitional government is crucial for several reasons.

A transitional government can provide a platform for dialogue and reconciliation among various political factions, helping to bridge the deep divides that often plague the country’s political system. By bringing together representatives from different parties, demographics, sectors, communities, and stakeholders, a transitional government can work towards fostering a sense of unity and collaboration that is essential for long-term stability. This inclusivity is crucial for addressing the historical ethnic tensions that have often marred Kenya’s political landscape​

The implementation of a transitional government in Kenya could help to quell the morphing Gen Z protests, political unrest, and unending industrial actions to promote stability in the country. With a neutral administration in place, there is a higher likelihood of achieving peaceful resolutions to ongoing conflicts and tensions among different political factions and other stakeholders.

Social inequality and public dissatisfaction, exemplified by recent protests over tax increases, highlight the need for a government that prioritizes social justice. A transitional government can implement policies that address these grievances, ensuring that economic growth translates into improved living standards for all Kenyans, particularly the most vulnerable​.

Additionally, a transitional government could pave the way for much-needed institutional reforms and strengthen democratic processes in Kenya. These reforms can include changes to the electoral, judicial, and political systems, the constitution, and the legal framework, all of which are crucial for ensuring fair and transparent governance in the future.

Strengthening democratic institutions and the rule of law is essential for long-term stability. A transitional government could focus on reforms to enhance the judiciary’s independence, ensure free and fair elections, and improve governance. This would help build the lost public trust in governmental institutions and reduce the likelihood of electoral violence and corruption​.

By involving a broader representation of various stakeholders in decision-making processes, a transitional government could foster a more inclusive and transparent political environment. Furthermore, the establishment of such a government could create a conducive atmosphere for national reconciliation and healing, enabling the country to move forward from its turbulent past towards a more peaceful and prosperous future.

A transitional government could provide a crucial platform for enhancing leadership effectiveness and ethical standards within the country. By leveraging the principles of governance, a transitional government could foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and inclusive decision-making processes.

Finally, Kenya stands to benefit from a transitional government that prioritizes ethical conduct, resource utilization efficiency, and stakeholder engagement to pave the way for sustainable political stability and socio-economic progress. This can address issues like high public debt and inflation, inequality, youth unemployment, and marginalization

Challenges to Implementing a Transitional Government

However, establishing a transitional government requires significant political will and cooperation from all major stakeholders. Given the deep-rooted political and ethnic divisions, achieving consensus might be challenging. It will demand political goodwill from both the opposition and the government.

There will be a need to maintain the momentum by ensuring that the transitional government does not become a permanent fixture is crucial. Clear timelines and objectives must be set to transition to a fully democratic government within a specified period.

Gaining and maintaining public support is essential. The transitional government must demonstrate transparency, accountability, and a genuine commitment to addressing the public’s needs and concerns.

It is my considered opinion that, a transitional government could indeed offer a promising solution for Kenya, providing a structured approach to address its multifaceted challenges. However, its success would depend on the willingness of political leaders to cooperate, the establishment of clear goals and timelines, and the support of the Kenyan people.
