Скачать или смотреть Andrew Levi Proposes Swiss-Style Decentralized Democracy for Kenya

Andrew Levi shares powerful insights on Kenyan democracy, reflecting on why many read the Finance Bill during the 2024 protests but overlooked the BBI report and even the Constitution. He calls it a "travesty" and argues that deeper engagement with key documents could clarify ideas and transform governance.

In this clip, Levi proposes adopting a Swiss-style decentralized democracy system tailored for Africa: small community convenings (groups of 100 in rural areas) discussing local issues, with decisions percolating upwards to the national level. He emphasizes Kenya's social and oral culture – "We're so social and we're so oral" – making conversational, bottom-up democracy a perfect fit.

Key quotes:
"It's a bit of a shame or travesty that we read the finance bill ahead of the protests... but many people didn't read the BBI report... some people haven't read the Constitution."
"One of the things that's been proposed is almost like the Swiss system where you have these small convenings in the countryside... decisions percolate upwards all the way to the center."
"In Africa we are so social and we're so oral... Our thoughts, our recommendations should percolate somewhere."
