This week, Kenya marked 16 years since the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, a document born from decades of struggle, public agitation, and finally, the “never again” 2007-08 post-election violence.

Katiba Day, first proclaimed as a perpetual national anniversary in 2025, offers a moment for both celebration and sober reflection.
