Kenya has been acknowledged world over for having a progressive Constitution that guarantees unfettered rights and fundamental freedoms to its citizens. The Constitution in virtually all its 17 chapters is punctuated with obligations required of public entities and leadership.

Chapter 6 of the Constitution on leadership and integrity gives impetus to other chapters pertaining to the manner in which leaders and public entities must safeguard the honour and dignity of the people while governing them and in their service to the people. They are required to uphold accountability, transparency, exclusivity, integrity and a host of other principles of good governance while demonstrating respect to the people they serve in trust. Various government institutions have a share of constitutional obligations on promoting good governance in all their undertakings.
