The stated Mission of KNC is to provide a people driven Government that is participatory, and consultative, building a free market economy driven by the people; ensuring a more equitable distribution of income and wealth within a secure environment for all.

Kenya National Congress’ philosophy is to foster unity and unlock Kenya’s potential for a better and a brighter Kenya, guided by good governance under a stable and people-driven Government that is development- oriented, transparent, peaceful and corruption-free. In keeping with this philosophy, KNC stands FOR:[7]

• Upholding democratic principles and institutionalisation of democracy in Kenya. KNC stands for a democratic society wedded to equity and social justice and committed to the preservation of the unity and integrity of our country. KNC looks at democracy as a holistic outcome of ensuring equal rights to each and everyone in the country, politically, economically and socially. KNC shall ensure equal opportunity for all in all spheres of life, especially education and skill development with special affirmative action for the deprived sections of the society.
• Ensuring the unity and integrity of Kenya by strengthening a decentralised Government for Kenya and upholding the rule of law without any prejudice to any region, race, tribe, sex or status.
• Building an economically progressive nation based on the free-market economy where private enterprise is encouraged and direct Government participation in business is minimised.
• Fostering a vibrant and dynamic society based on pluralism and diversity; to replace elitism with free competition; to provide an equal opportunity for all Kenyans especially in the area of education; and to encourage policies that create equal opportunities for all including women, youth and the disabled
