Defining Green
GTAP, TUNAJENGA!
The G-Tap definition of Green in politics, fully acknowledges the uniqueness of our focus on nature while also stressing our radical approach to the organisation of human social, economic and political relations, consistent, but not exclusively tied to or derived from our focus on the metabolism between humans and nature. We believe that one cannot address a society without making reference to the social environmental interaction, and the natural contexts and dimensions of human society.
In simple terms, while our politics addresses environmental issues such as pollution, climate change and resource management, we are a fully-fledged political party with views and proposed solutions on non-resource and non-environmental challenges facing our country. As a green party, central to our philosophy, unlike other political parties, is a
stress on the embodiedness of people as ethically and politically significant.
“Green” in G-Tap extends to include a moral code that governs our interaction both the human and the nonhuman world, as well as extending the moral community into the future to respect the rights of generations yet to be born and taking care of their concerns today. We embrace the idea of ‘sustainability’ and ‘intergenerational justice’.
GTAP Ideology
In GTAP we believe that green communitarianism is the key to the development of our Nation and of all global citizens. This philosophy boldly espouses the true equality between man and woman as protagonists of our great Nation and their common responsibility to care for the environment. This ideology can be summarized in the following tenets.
- That our nation is a unified God given blend of law abiding, diverse and dignified communities with revered and diverse characteristics of ethnicity, race, religion, geography, age and religious beliefs. The central cell of these communities is the family household.
- That each community has equal rights and responsibilities before God and among the community of Nations and the natural environment is part and parcel of the community. Our human diversity and natures endowments are a Divine reward, opportunity and gift. Our human dignity and natural ecosystems are fundamental foundations for developing, educating, skilling and ensuring a dignified life for the member households, families and individuals of our communities.
- That economic innovation, entrepreneurship and a wholesome ecological development is a fundamental right and responsibility of all communities, their households, families, individuals and economic institutions
- That the Political Administration of our Nation-State should support, incentivize, and provide the basis for cohesion and development among communities. The Government and all its machinery should be held accountable to and by the communities and likewise of the communities to the Nation-State. The overall responsibility of the security of the nation- state is the government assisted by community policing and administration structures. All communities and individuals have a right and responsibility to integrate freely within the entire nation of Kenya in furtherance of the common good of the nation.
