Dr. Hesbon Hansen advocates for Kenyans to embrace discussions around constitutional reform, arguing that the Kenya Constitution 2010 anticipates such changes and provides clear frameworks. This follows Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi's proposal for a referendum alongside the next general election.

• The U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1788, saw its first ten amendments adopted within three years, and has been amended only 27 times over two centuries.
• Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi's proposal for a referendum has initiated debate, consistent with the Constitution's allowance for future amendments via referenda.
• Article 255 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 outlines matters requiring a referendum, including the supremacy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
• The Supreme Court, in the BBI judgments, affirmed that constitutional amendment must be genuinely people-driven, not an elite project.
