Below are the areas where the program will focus on:
Ethnic antagonism and competition
The leaders agreed to put efforts towards reversing the continued deterioration of relationships between ethnic communities and political formations.
They resolved to stand together and urge Kenyans, political leaders and formations to compete without using ethnic
profiling or by promoting disdain for any group.
Lack of a national ethos
Uhuru and Raila said Kenya is today increasingly being defined internationally by its negative politics and the challenges that they create.
They said corruption and violence are the main characteristics by which Kenyans are defined with at the international front.
Despite the many positive attributes of the country, they said Kenya is yet to define and promote its national ethos.
Nationhood and patriotism, they said: "...requires that people feel they enjoy a commonality beyond the sharing of residency in a country. They feel they have common characteristics, beliefs, and aspirations."
Inclusivity
Uhuru and Raila further greed that inclusivity is one of the greatest challenges the new team will have to deal with going forward.
The duo said Kenyans have failed to appreciate God-given differences in how they think, the languages they speak, the regions they come from, and the way they worship.
"Our political system has been unable to respond to feelings of alienation in sections of our people. Many feel alienated from the mainstream national development initiatives and political activity. Such real and imagined exclusion is anathema to effective nation-building," they said.
"We both commit to fight hard for inclusivity and to make sure, in an accountable and impactful way, that public institutions work to deliver to all Kenyans at the national and county level."
"And, crucially, we will work together to guarantee that all Kenyans are served equally by public institutions, no matter who leads them," the statement added.
Divisive elections.
In regards to elections in the country, the two said they it is unfortunate elections have become a threat to lives, economy, and people's standing as a nation.
They regretted that every four years, the country almost comes to standstill as investment and economic activity slows, results into loss of jobs and livelihoods.
The duo said they will work to ensure Kenya will have elections that are not marred by mistrust and conflict.
Corruption
The two leaders said corruption is an existential threat to the country adding that it is destroying lives, public trust and prosperity.
"It is being passed to the young generation, making a mockery of their hopes and their need to forge an honest and proud living. It is undermining our public and private institutions, and will destroy them and our aspirations as a nation," they said.
