CoE has proved targets are achievable

Led by an austere, unsmiling lawyer Nzamba Kitonga, a team of six Kenyans and a Zambian, Ugandan and American, a milestone was reached by the Committee of Experts (CoE) who cobbled together a new Constitution for Kenya. The nation heaved a collective sigh of relief when the law experts announced that they had a working document that would see the Constitution of Kenya Review Act’s timetable rolling.

The CoE somersaulted over naysayers’ initial concerns about some of the commissioners’ credentials, overcame funding hurdles and doggedly stuck to the timeframe.
