Nairobi — Kenyans have developed a website dedicated to tracking over 350 promises made by President William Ruto and other government officers serving in the Kenya Kwanza administration.

This innovative platform aims to hold the government accountable by meticulously monitoring the progress and fulfilment of its pledges.

The website's creation was highlighted by @lindahoguttu on X, who tweeted:

"Someone has created a website tracking Kenya Kwanza promises. All 416 of them. The government should use this to its advantage. Focus. Why is it unable to deliver on these promises? What will it take? Meanwhile Gen Z, mad respect."

The initiative comes at a time when many Kenyans are questioning the government's ability to deliver on its commitments.

Additionally, the country is witnessing anti-government protests led by Gen Z Kenyans, and this website is a testament to the integration of technology to enhance civic engagements and hold politicians accountable by providing a transparent and accessible means of tracking their promises.

Therefore the website serves as both a tool for public scrutiny and a reminder to government officials of their obligations.

Features of the website

The platform details each promise and categorises it by tabs such as the "promise" and "status," including details on promises for projects that have not started and those that have been completed.

This comprehensive approach allows users to easily navigate and understand the scope of the government's commitments.

The website's creators hope that it will encourage more accountability and prompt the government to focus on fulfilling its promises.
