The mission of Kikasha (meaning ‘Inbox’ in Swahili) is to empower you and me to make our country, and the world, a better place for us all. It provides digital tools and spaces that enable you to actively contribute to, and demand, sound management of public affairs.
The App enables you to easily communicate with any government department you want from the comfort of your phone through digital pigeonholes assigned to every government agency.
Through these pigeonholes, you can share creative ideas or any useful information you may have with any government department with a view to promoting public interest, e.g. give feedback to government officials; express your views or concerns on any public issue; expose and report corrupt and incompetent public officials; and report any crimes anywhere to relevant government agencies.
