In a bold statement that could reshape the political landscape of Kenya, a coalition of civil society organizations, political party members, university student leaders, and concerned citizens has announced a call for Transformational Leadership.
The newly formed Alternative Leadership Concerned Citizens Alliance (ALCCA) is taking a stand against the current administration, accusing it of failing the people and driving the country into a state of despair.
Addressing a packed press conference, ALCCA convener Prof. Fred Ogola outlined the failures of President William Ruto’s government, citing unfulfilled promises, mounting economic troubles, and a pattern of incompetence and corruption.
He accused the government of neglecting the basic needs of Kenyans, instead prioritizing political maneuvering and the next election.
“What has been delivered is a betrayal—a leadership more interested in its own survival than in the welfare of the people,” Ogola said.
The group emphasized that Kenya, 875 days into the current administration, is still suffering from leadership that “does not listen” and “has no capacity to do what is needed.”
According to Ogola, every initiative spearheaded by the government, from the SHA project to the Hustler Fund and even infrastructure developments, has either failed or stagnated, leaving Kenyans with no solutions to their everyday struggles.
ALCCA’s call for “Alternative Leadership” was clear: a new, inclusive government that represents all Kenyans, one that fuses the experience of senior leaders with the innovative energy of the younger generation.
They envision an economy driven by the private sector, where business thrives and public services improve—something they believe is currently impossible under the current leadership.
At the heart of ALCCA’s vision is a leadership based on love for the nation—love that transcends tribalism and class divides.
“We are tribeless, we are classless,” Ogola declared, invoking the words of a new generation determined to break free from the chains of corruption and division.
In addition to addressing the nation’s internal struggles, ALCCA also turned its attention to the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
With Kenyans living and working in the region facing threats to their safety, ALCCA urged the Kenyan government to tread carefully in its diplomatic dealings to avoid exacerbating tensions.
The press conference concluded with a call to action for all Kenyans who are ready to embark on a journey of meaningful change.
“We are not here for mere regime change, we are here to transform the livelihoods, comfort, and future of Kenyans.”Ogola asserted.
As ALCCA gains momentum, it’s clear that they are not just challenging the status quo—they are offering a new path forward for a nation desperate for leadership that listens, delivers, and, above all, cares.
