Trust

The trust we are asking for, and how we plan to keep it

Trust is built quietly, then tested. Below are the commitments the campaign is making to residents. These are not slogans. They are the contract you can hold us to.

Ten commitments

What the campaign stands for

Mission

To represent the interests of the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County in national law-making, revenue allocation and oversight — with the rigour, transparency and proximity to residents that a county-level Senate seat demands.

Vision

A county where every child reaches school safely, every household is within reach of a functional health facility, every farmer has a fair route to market, and every young person has a credible pathway to opportunity.

Core values

Integrity. Accessibility. Servant leadership. Listening before acting. Public participation. Transparency. Non-violence. Equity. Accountability. Care for the next generation.

Leadership principles

Office is stewardship. Money is public. Promises are written so they can be checked. The limits of a Senate seat are stated honestly. Decisions are documented. People are addressed with respect in any language they speak.

Transparency promise

Every motion, statement and vote affecting the county will be published with a short plain-language note within seven days. The campaign’s support ledger is audited, summarised and published quarterly.

Community promise

Residents are not an audience. They are the office. The campaign commits to a listening cycle, a public feedback table, an annual state-of-the-county conversation and an Issues Portal that always replies.

Public accountability statement

If a pledge is missed, the campaign will say so in public and explain why, rather than resell the pledge in different language.

Volunteer charter

Volunteers are the campaign. The charter covers onboarding, code of conduct, safety, data handling, pastoral contact and recognition.

Supporter charter

Supporters finance the work. The charter covers acknowledgement, the audit cadence, the categories of expenditure, and the option for supporters to ask questions that must be answered.

Privacy commitment

Personal data is used only for the stated purpose, kept for the shortest time necessary, and never shared without consent. See the full privacy notice on the Privacy page.

How trust is checked

Public verification, internal discipline

Each commitment on this page is mirrored in either the manifesto, the priorities page or the Briefings feed. If you cannot match a commitment to a verifiable action, please write to info@hillarykiplagat.co.ke and the team will reply.

Independent verification

Where the work gets harder — and louder

The campaign commits to an annual independent verification of its public commitments against its activity log. The verifier’s report will be published in full, not summarised.
