| Stated Role |
The Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector is Kenya’s most ambitious effort at reforming its governance, justice, law and order sectors to date. <P> |
| Activities |
Using the police as an example GJLOS would ensure :- <P>Responsive and enforceable policy: law and regulation by for example seeking a preventative: proactive police service. <P>Improved service delivery by GJLOS institutions - by aiming for greater police accountability and response time: supported by world-class IT-led crime reporting and victim processing systems. <P>Reduction of corruption related impunity by securing progressively improved public ratings within the Kenya Bribery Index for results achieved in reducing corruption and impunity within the police force. <P>Improved access to justice especially for the poor: marginalized and vulnerable by targeting an improved gender sensitive police force that has the recommended police to population ratio. <P>More informed and participative citizenry and non state actors by seeking wider community support for local-level (community) policing initiatives. |
