Residents of Kisumu have largely welcomed President William Ruto's declaration of August as Katiba Day, viewing it as an opportunity to reflect on the gains of the 2010 Constitution, particularly through devolution. They highlighted significant development at the grassroots level since its implementation.

• The 2010 Constitution ushered in devolution, leading to visible developments like the construction of Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres.
• Alex Wadegu, a civil society advocate and boda boda rider, praised devolution but cautioned that corruption remains a major challenge within counties.
• Another resident, Kepher Akong’o, emphasized that the Constitution's provision for referendums allows citizens to propose amendments to outdated provisions.
