RE: A LOCAL BASED CSO INITIATIVE TO COMBAT RAMPANT CORRUPTION; IN THE FRONTLINE FIGHTING
CORRUPTION IN KENYA.
Dear Mrs./Miss/Ms Elisabeth Leiss, greetings and good morning. Its my sincere hope this Letter (Email) finds you
well. My names are Kelvin and I write to introduce and present to you Vigilance Project Initiative. A Kenyan based
approach to combating the rampant corruption of Kenya government office bearers.
VIGILANCE PROJECT founded in idea and principle in 2013 is an initiative born out of observation and action to
challenge the existing narrative of Rampant Corruption, Looting, Pilferage and Poor Leadership (Governance). We
exist to hold duty bearers and office holders in the public office accountable, to question non performing yet funded
sectors of government. We highlight and point out Grey Areas Rampant Crippling Corruption by the Elected
Governments and successive Past Governments in Kenya.
Our approach, strategy and methodologies are fresh, unique with an implementation friendly programmatic purview.
Our programs design is evidence based where the projects implementation yields results but also documents the
applied working solutions as evidence for both learning and knowledge sharing.
Today the fight against corruption must be a sustained and multi faceted approach anchored upon advanced
technology (ICT) and Leveraged on Data Analytical Skill uncovering the DELIBERATE FINANCIAL LOOPHOLES in
Crucial Government Financial Budgets and Spending (Big Data), Communication Skills among other strategies
meant to engage/inform policy makers and the general public through keen research work, well written and BACKED
HARD FACTS.

CORRUPTION and other ECONOMIC CRIMES not forgetting Abuse of Power by PUBLIC OFFICE AUTHORITY
HOLDERS (DUTY BEARERS) has made Kenya lag behind for so many years not forgetting the Poverty Levels
(Human Suffering) and Financial Loss Running Into HUNDREDS of BILLIONS in DOLLARS.
This is our narrative (theory of change). Our cause is defined, our hearts decided and dedicated to the cause. The
project comprises a team of Six Competent, Passionate and highly experienced individuals who form the working
Secretariat and we are on the LOOKOUT for potential actors and development partners in the form of donors to
enable us amplify our voices and magnify our scope and reach in the work we do.
We desire to enhance internal capacities and develop competencies in advocacy, civic education for good
governance, open governance initiatives, research and other internal management functions. These would include
the secretariat operations, Programmatic Purview and Organizational Strategic Direction.
We desire to be a Properly Run Organization, with Credibility, Trust, Reliability, Efficiency and Effectiveness. Our
need for professionalism extends to even communication structures and administrative management structures. It is
for this reason we have identified and approached you with intent to SOLICIT FINANCIAL support for our
PROGRAMMATIC PRIORITIES that may also interest you. We currently operate as a project and envisage
assuming the model of a Nonprofit Social Enterprise (Trust).
We would be elated to be associated with GIZ Kenya. We believe we can learn a lot from cooperation and
development support from GIZ in our quest for objectivity and forward movement. With passion, devotion and
dedication plus focus we believe the war against corruption can be won. We hope to work together very soon and
engage constructively both through public spaces and online spaces exchanging and sharing ideas.
Allow me to say that its possible to change the wrongs we see everyday piece by piece one at a time. We live by this
code: A people united shall never be defeated! And to you we say Today was a dream, but tomorrow we shall live it
in reality. WE ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Together we can achieve more. We thank you for your time and patience to read our Letter. This proposal we put
before you hoping to have a positive answer from you. Meanwhile we continue to claim back our beloved Republic
Kenya for we must speak against bad governance, say no to corruption, and end looting of public resources.
We say NO in the strongest terms to pilferage and unnecessary wastage of scarce public opportunities/resources. As
I pen off I wish you a good day at work and send both luck and blessings your way. Dream on, Gods speed! Your
feedback is valued, appreciated and anticipated. Thanks and cheers!

Sincerely,

Obalu Kelvin. O
