President William Ruto and Raila Odinga are advocating for amendments to Kenya's constitution, despite historical opposition or previous support for the document. This recent development marks a significant shift, as some leaders who once opposed the constitution are now championing its modification.

• President William Ruto, as a Cabinet Minister, campaigned against the constitution's adoption 15 years ago.
• The leaders used a celebratory event for the constitution to instead push for its "mutilation" through amendments.
• The article suggests an irony in leaders advocating for amendments to a law they previously resisted or are now seeking to change significantly.
