About OFFLACK

The tale of the social, political & economic woes & suffering that poor Kenyans are undergoing needs no retelling. The pains, fears and anxieties being experienced are written all over their faces. The question is, who will supply the true light? Who will lead the change for national salvation? Oscar Foundation wish to partner their efforts in saving these faces with other intrested group.

THE VISION

The vision of OFFLACK is to translate into a fact the fictitious phrase that every man is deemed to know the law and that every man knows his rights and obligation and can seek justice through the law

THE MISSION

OFFLACK is committed to promoting legal awareness and representation in courts of law as provided in the Civil Procedure Act Cap 21 Order XXXII Rule 1 - 18 Laws of Kenya.

Our main mission is to see:

A great Kenyan nation in which every citizens' rights are honoured and secured.
A society in which law is observed and opportunities extended to all.
A society in which development is accessed by all.

It must be remembered that law can become a potent weapon to protect the weak, not when it is merely lawyers or textbook teaching, but when the intended consumer knows its content and posses the know how to claim it.

Oscar Foundation has placed such information booths in all courts in Nairobi, Limuru and Muranga and plans to plant more in all courts countrywide. It is only if the large masses

of our people become conscious of the law that many little tyrannies, blow beating, bossisms, feudal operations and exploitative malpractices can be eradicated.

n our bid to promote legal literacy and awareness Oscar Foundation has come up with its own publication (book) entitled Law for the Layman yet to be published , for more information please log on to our website www.oscarfoundation.org

Now that our current constitution is being reviewed, it is essential from this angle that whenever a social welfare legislation or law, conferring economic benefit or other ameliorative measure is enacted project must simultaneously be commenced for carrying the designed

broad content of the law so enacted to its prospective consumers and such schemes should be systemized and not remain sporadic.
