Ignorance of Constitution bad for national scorecard

Like Martin Luther King, Jr. opined: "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."This aptly describes the disturbing findings by an International Fellowship Programme (IFP) survey showing that almost half of all Kenyans know very little about the new Constitution.

The saving statistic is that 95.5 per cent are at least aware that a supreme law exists. Results of the poll titled “Empowering Communities in the Implementation of the New Constitution” make for disturbing reading because in the new Constitution lies the chasis, bedrock and backbone on which almost every endeavour will grow.
