Has your file ever ‘disappeared’ at the courts but re-appeared at the production of ‘kitu kidogo’? Have you ever reported a crime and you became the criminal instead? Were you abused domestically only to be turned back at a police station to sort your family matters at home? Did you ever loose a case in court because you could not give a kickback? The list is endless but the Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector (GJLOS) Reform Programme is here to support reforms that should lead to an improvement in the services delivered to you by the relevant Government departments. What is GJLOS?
GJLOS is a reform minded initiative led by the Government of Kenya to give its citizens better governance, justice, law and order. It is a programme that seeks to end corruption, slow and inept government services, and enhance professionalism in the civil service. It brings together everyone that has a stake in transforming Kenya into a better place, not just for our children, and our children’s children but for all of us. GJLOS is a multi-sectoral programme which brings together 32 government agencies and several semi-autonomous government agencies, non-governmental organizations and development partners. It was initially launched as a five-year programme. This was subsequently broken into:- - A one-year Short Term Priorities Programme (STPP) of “quick wins” to run from July 2004 to September 2005;
- A four-year Medium Term Strategy (MTS) of deep seated reform running from October 2005 to June 2009.
But GJLOS can only work if Kenyans play a major role in the program. GJLOS is about creating reforms that involve every Kenyan who wants a better governed country where insecurity is not an everyday threat and the justice system works. After all it is you – the ordinary Kenyan who has to contend with insecurity, delays in the justice system and the effects of poor governance. Your voice, too, needs to be heard, loudly. On this site we have provided you with the means to be heard. You will find the especially useful for feedback.
We welcome you to GJLOS website! Join us as we tackle the problems that face our society as a whole. Help us realize our goal of making Kenya a better place to live for everyone. After all, Reform starts with you and Me.
