On August 27 this year, we celebrated 15 years since the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, a day commonly referred to as Katiba Day.

President William Ruto gazetted the day as an official public holiday for all Kenyans to reflect and appreciate our gains as a nation, from the post-Independence era to the new constitutional dispensation.

The Constitution was overwhelmingly supported by Kenyans in the referendum on August 4, 2010, with 68.6 per cent voting in favour. It was promulgated by President Mwai Kibaki on August 27, 2010.
