# 🇰🇪 Sauti ya Wananchi — Voice of the Citizens
> AI-powered citizen accountability platform for Kenya. Satoshi-style. Unkillable. $0 budget.
## What Is This?
Sauti ya Wananchi is a platform that empowers Kenyan citizens to hold politicians accountable — before and after elections. Built on the principle that **politics should be service, not business**.
### The Problem
- Kenya's political system has served those in power since independence (1963)
- Politicians spend billions during campaigns, then loot public funds to "recover investments"
- IEBC rules are unenforceable — they solve ~10% of the problem
- The system is designed for those in power, not citizens
### The Solution
- **Campaign Spending Tracker** — citizens report handouts, AI verifies, blockchain anchors
- **Politician Scorecard** — promises vs delivery, voting records, court cases
- **Voter Education** — AI-powered candidate analysis, issue-based matching
- **Citizen Reporting** — anonymous vote buying/bribery reports with evidence chain
- **Procurement Watchdog** — AI pattern detection for suspicious government contracts
- **Public Fund Tracker** — budget vs spending, ghost project detection via satellite
- **DAO Governance** — citizens vote on what to investigate
