The Constitution of Kenya, a decade old, is the result of decades of struggle by ordinary Kenyans to assert the right to control their destiny and to wrest control from politicians and political dynasties.

There are massive violations of the Constitution by state agencies.

Yet again, our politicians have reduced our problems to “their” problems

The concerns are with who gets into power, not with how that power is used for the people of Kenya

The 2010 constitution was drafted through a very participatory process. Critically, and as Yash Ghai argues, the 2010 constitution was the constitution the people imposed on the political elite.

We the people of Kenya, having created the constitution, not only imposed it on the ruling elite but we then proceeded to hand over the baby to the same elite

A political leadership of child and body parts traffickers—to bring it up.

The BBI, the latest offering from Kenya’s political class in its endeavours to curtail fundamental social change, is largely a declaration of war by the political class against the people of Kenya.

On what basis are we to believe that if we change the rules, the new rules will survive the next power struggle?

No amount of constitutional tinkering can cure impunity.

Unchecked, failure by the President and the National Assembly to accept the constitutional limitations of their authority will lay the foundation for a systematic breakdown in the rule of law

Historically the Kenyan elite changes the constitution when under tremendous political and economic pressure such as 1991 and 2010; or when the realignments are aimed at locking powerful players out of the political game
