Being a relatively new institution, the Commission is still a stranger to a majority of Kenyans and administrative justice issues it handles are still vague. It is on this premise that the Commission adopted county visits in 2012/2013 as one of the strategic approaches to enhance public awareness and participation in matters of administrative justice. The awareness programmes were anchored on the thinking that when people have the relevant information about the Commission, then they are able to seek its services. The activity is also in line with Strategic Objective 1 which focuses on addressing maladministration in the public sector. The main goal of the visits was to increase public awareness and accessibility of the commission.

The high voter turnout and restraint witnessed during the process, in spite of the challenges experienced, confirmed Kenyans’ desire for peaceful co-existence and a representative government. As an independent constitutional commission with a mandate to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution, the Commission on Administrative Justice (Office of the Ombudsman) made significant efforts in contributing to the credibility and integrity of the elections. In line with its Constitutional mandate to protect constitutionalism, ensure adherence to democratic values and principles, and protect the sovereignty of the Kenyan people; as well as the mandate to check against abuse of power and improper conduct derived from both Constitution and Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) Act of 2011, the Commission monitored misuse of state resources, observed the elections and conducted post election monitoring exercise. The exercise yielded positive results. The intervention went a long way not only to protect the integrity of the electoral process, but also to protect public wealth Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://library.ombudsman.go.ke:8080/jspui/handle/caj/93 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
