In a functioning democracy, leaders and citizens share the solemn duty to respect, defend and uphold the Constitution. Kenya is by all standards no different. We are even better off having a robust constitution which observers describe as one of the most progressive in the continent.

However, we are witnessing a deeply worrying trend where politicians make reckless statements, flout the law, and engage in actions that risk pushing our country toward instability. You wonder why they are tempting fate!
