Letters, emails, telephone calls, faxes and face-to-face meetings with your Members of Parliament or their staff in local offices are effective methods of getting your opinion across. And, when time is of the essence – for example, a vote on important legislation is imminent – faxes, telephone calls or email can be nearly instant communicators.

Choose whatever option suits you best – just make sure your voice is heard. Your effort could tip the scale and help change a vote and win a crucial fight.

At any point in the legislative process, Kenyans for Change may ask you to lobby your Member of Parliament, Senators or the President. There are special times when your letters and calls can be especially productive.

                               Following is the typical way legislation is enacted into law, although not every bill will follow this exact route. Laws governing taxes, for instance, must always originate in Parliament. Most bills never become law – they either never make it out of committee, or they are stopped by a parliament block, delay, lack of votes, dissention in the national assembly, or they are killed by a presidential veto.

Kenyans for Change Founder Hebron Mosomi once said, "If our voices are to be heard and reforms taken seriously, we will require careful preparation, effective organization, and commitment. A lot of commitment”

Citizens who can unite for a common purpose and in pursuit of better governance will have extraordinary impact on the future of our nation. Our goal at Kenyans for Change is to help make the voice of citizens have a powerful presence on the political scene, working to give them the tools they need to play a sustained and active part in the fight for open, honest and accountable government at all levels.
