Political and Economic Governance

(i) Electoral and Political Processes
Credible elections are a critical component for issue-based politics. To ensure that electoral and political processes form a core element of the Constitution implementation, the sector will facilitate the full operationalization of the Political Parties Act, 2011, the Elections Act, 2011, and Campaign Finance Bill, as well as the provision of the civic education programmes on electoral and political processes. The sector will develop a policy and further introduce a charities legislation to regulate political campaigning and conduct of Non Government Organizations to ensure that they only campaign on issues that promote their core mandate but not engage in party politics.

(ii) Economic Governance
In order to achieve an economic growth rate of 10% as envisaged in the Economic Pillar, the following laws will need to be implemented among others Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes (Amnesty and Restitution) Regulations, 2011, Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2009, Mutual Legal Assistance Act, 2012, and Leadership and Integrity Act 2012. In addition, the sector will promote timely provision of legal
advice and implement strategies to ensure adherence to contractual obligations.
