Kenya Marks 15th Anniversary of Constitution Amid Implementation Concerns - August 2025

As Kenya celebrated its inaugural Constitution Day, President William Ruto emphasized the critical need to eradicate corruption to achieve constitutional goals and urged county governors to devise new strategies for increasing revenue. However, a new report indicates that 15 years after its implementation, the constitution's execution has been marked as "bittersweet," with several crucial articles not fully observed. Civil society organizations expressed grave concerns about what they deem significant shortcomings in its implementation, claiming key constitutional provisions are being undermined. These organizations also allege that the government's constitutional celebrations are a tactic by the President to distance himself from accusations of human rights violations.
