About Us

PromiseTracker, is a tool to help journalists and civil society watchdogs more easily track campaign promises and other political / government pledges, using official evidence / data, as well as crowdsourced information, with a transparent and defensible methodology, to help inject accountability and honesty into the often cavalier way that promises are made to citizens to win their support for elections, policies and contracts but are seldom honoured.

Build a fully equipped TVET institution in the remaining 52 constituencies within the first two years.

2026-08-25

The promise has not been fully fulfilled, but there is evidence of ongoing implementation. The two-year deadline expired in September 2024. By 2026, available project-level details from Open Budget Kenya and the Ministry of Education’s TVET Sub-Sector Report for FY2026/27–FY2028/29 support the following breakdown of the 52 promised institutions. Open Budget Kenya’s FY2023/24 record names the 15 first-phase projects, while the Ministry report records 12 of them; Matungu, Kiambaa, Sigowet/Soin, Mwingi West, Kilifi South, Nyali, Muhoroni, Kibra, Kwanza, Wajir West, Subukia and Narok North as ongoing at 21 per cent completion, and identifies Kangundo and Kibwezi West as stalled. The Ministry report further notes three additional institutions that commenced in 2024; Webuye East, Kitui East, and Molo/Elburgon as ongoing. Taken together, these sources account for 15 institutions under construction and two stalled, leaving approximately 35 of the original 52 still unaccounted for in the available documentation, with no clear confirmation that construction has begun. Because the promise required all 52 institutions to be fully equipped within two years, the available evidence does not support a finding of completion.

Provide free sanitary towels in all schools and public washrooms.

2026-07-10

President William Ruto's administration pledged to expand free sanitary towel distribution. While the Basic Education Amendment Act already legally mandates the government to provide free towels in public schools, the proposed Provision of Sanitary Towels Bill, No.7 Of 2024 seeks to explicitly expand this mandate to all public institutions and public washrooms nationwide.
