Kenya's Constitution: An Instrument of Change

Inspired by a vision of unity, peace, inclusiveness, human rights, participatory democracy, social justice and integrity - and by their persistence - the people achieved a Constitution based on these values.

The Constitution aims at the equal rights of all Kenyans, especially for women, the disabled, and those marginalised in other ways. It promises everyone the basic necessities of life, such as food, health care, housing, water and a clean environment, by their own efforts and with the assistance of the government. It makes the government accountable to the people—the source of all sovereign power.
