Today our Social Justice Centers in Kisumu, @CSONetwork, @WOVOP_org & other CSOs joined citizens at Mama Grace Onyango Social Hall to mark 16 years of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution. We reflected on gains, gaps & the need to uphold human rights, participation & people’s sovereignty.
Today, Mukuru Community Justice Centre held a community dialogue reflecting on 16 years of constitutionalism in Kenya the gains, the struggles and the promises yet to be delivered.
The 2010 Constitution promised dignity, equality, justice and socio economic rights. But in our communities, people are still struggling to access healthcare, decent housing, quality education, food, water and social protection.
What does a Constitution mean to a mother who cannot afford healthcare?
What does the right to housing mean to a family that were forceful evicted promised affordable housing and they have been sold out ?
What does the right to education mean to a child studying without basic facilities?
A Constitution cannot remain a beautiful document in offices while the people continue to suffer on the ground.
From Mukuru, we are demanding more than constitutional promises. We demand implementation we demand accountability we demand justice.

There is a growing frustration of the Yala Swamp community as residents call for urgent action on the long-delayed registration of their ancestral community land. Despite years of engagement & assurances from leaders, many feel that the promise of justice has not been fulfilled.
Young people of Central Sakwa and the Lake Victoria basin must be part of decisions that could shape our future for generations. We demand meaningful participation, full information and transparency on the proposed nuclear power plant. #OurLakeOurLifeOurFuture. @nuclearkenya,
@nuclearkenya
If the proposed nuclear project is safe, necessary and suitable for the location, communities deserve to see the evidence. Publish the feasibility, environmental, health, safety and social-impact studies. No secrets. No shortcuts. #TransparencyNow
@nuclearkenya: THE COMMUNITY IS ASKING QUESTIONS. ANSWER THEM. 62 categories of information were requested on the proposed Siaya Nuclear Energy Project. FSANP says only about 14 were fully addressed.
We are taking the matter to the Ombudsman.
No secrecy.
Girls First Finance @GirlsFirstFin is a New York based predatory mobile lender targeting young vulnerable women through predatory student loans and aggressive collection practices. The lives of hundreds of these women and their parents have been upended by the lender.
Stop weaponising the justice system! 🛑 We condemn @NuPEA_Kenya's trumped-up charges against the #LenyaKajohn19 defenders. On Sept 1, 2026, Lake Victoria Basin stands in solidarity at Bondo Court. Access to info is a RIGHT, not a secret! 📢🇰🇪

The disappearance of Macmilan, Michael Oloo, Abdulaziz Ali and Evans Otieno is an attack on the rule of law and the right to a fair trial. Today it's them omorrow it could be someone you love. Kenya must criminalize enforced disappearance.#EndEnforcedDisappearance#HakiKwaWote
The most powerful feature of the 2010 constitution is that it places citizens at tye centre of governance, providing them with the power to demand participation, incluscion, accountability and transparent governance. Voices from Kisumu appreciate the advancement, calling out on the political class to practice respect to it.
KATIBA AT 16 | ALL SOVEREIGN POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE 🇰🇪
16 years of a Constitution that affirmed a fundamental principle: all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya.
At Inuka Kenya, we believe this power is not merely a constitutional statement-it is a call to action.
It is reflected in how we participate, speak up, demand accountability, shape public policy and hold power to account.
As we mark #KatibaAt16, let’s remember: democracy does not end at the ballot box. Our constitutional power is exercised every day.
Know your power. Use your power. Defend your power.
Because ultimately, Ni Sisi.
#KatibaAt16 #AllSovereignPower #NiSisiKenya
Today we celebrate 16 years of the 2010 Constitution that promised dignity, liberty and accountability for every Kenyan, yet enforced disappearances remain uncriminalised.
Honour the Katiba by closing this gap.

Justice delayed is justice denied... Not under our watch,,, the government to criminalise enforced disappearance and also to operationalize Victims protection act @HakiKNCHR@uhaiwetu@IPOA_KE@kwahaki#endenforced disappearance

Fellow Kenyans,
Young people aged 19-35 continue to bear the brunt of police violence. 90% of victims are men. This is a crisis of our generation. We refuse to be disappeared. We demand criminalisation. NOW. @WilliamsRuto@HakiKNCHR#EndEnforcedDisappearance#HakiKwaWote
