We've failed to fully reap from Constitution, says Azimio

Opposition leaders have decried the failure to implement key provisions of the 2010 Constitution.

As Kenya yesterday celebrated 14 years since its promulgation, Azimio la Umoja co-principals said corruption and inequality have hampered the full realisation of the benefits envisioned by the drafters of the document.

Azimio proposed that "Katiba Day" be declared a national day, given the significance it holds for the country.

“As we reflect on the past 14 years, we must celebrate our achievements under this Constitution. On this day, we remember the long journey that brought us to this point—a journey filled with struggle, sacrifice, and a deep desire to build a nation that upholds the rule of law and the rights of all its citizens,” said the coalition.
