Kenya is celebrating 16 years since the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, a landmark achievement signed into law by former President Mwai Kibaki on August 27, 2010.

• The 2010 Constitution replaced the 1969 Independence Constitution, addressing concerns over executive power.
• Key figures involved included former President Mwai Kibaki and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, along with the Committee of Experts (CoE) chaired by Senior Counsel Nzamba Kitonga.
• The effort was built on decades of advocacy by civil society groups, religious leaders, and activists like James Orengo and Yash Pal Ghai.
