I’ll Declare 2022 Political Plans After BBI – Raila; Man Demands Sh35m Not To Leak Nudes Of Ex-Girlfriend & Kenya Can’t Afford Coronavirus Vaccine Sold at KSh300 Per Dose

Good morning,

Ten years ago today, Kenyans spoke almost unanimously and promulgated the new Constitution hailed as the most progressive and transformative document that would cure many of the problems faced by them.

The 2010 Constitution was the outcome of pain, sweat, sacrifice and the product of determination which resulted in a majority of Kenyans choosing to change their destiny.

The key tenets of the constitution was the decentralization of power away from the presidency, creation of independent institutions with reforms on legal frameworks, ways of eradicating poverty, inequality and regional imbalance also provided.

However, ten years down the line, calls for another constitution review and reforms are growing louder by the day with a section of the political class determined to change the structure of governance.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his bosom handshake partner Raila Odinga have been pushing for constitutional change through the Building Bridges Initiative with their clarion call being a more united Kenya.

This begs the question: Do you think this constitution needs further changes or has it brought about the desired reforms?
