Kenya marked the 15th anniversary of its 2010 Constitution, a landmark legal framework signed into law by President Mwai Kibaki on August 27, 2010. The Constitution aimed to decentralize power by placing authority in the hands of ordinary citizens, known locally as Wanjiku, and to curb the dominance of an "imperial presidency." It also promised reforms including a restructured provincial administration, a transformed police service, enhanced parliamentary oversight of the budget, and strengthened judiciary independence. However, reflections on the anniversary reveal mixed outcomes. The provincial administration, which was expected to be phased out, has instead expanded to over 119,000 officers, raising concerns about its impact on devolution. The police force has largely resisted transformation, maintaining old practices despite constitutional mandates for dignity and accountability. Parliamentary roles in budget-making have been criticized for self-interest and political bargaining rather than protecting public funds. The judiciary, entrusted as the guardian against abuse of power, continues to face challenges including budgetary constraints, staffing issues, corruption, and institutional expansion, with some critics questioning the effectiveness of the Supreme Court. Public participation in governance, another constitutional promise, is seen by some as largely symbolic. Prominent voices, including advocates and lawmakers, emphasize the need for full implementation, respect for the Constitution, and cultivating a constitutional culture to realize its objectives. A national dialogue held at the Mövenpick Hotel focused on these themes, highlighting the importance of integrity, accountability, and collaboration between national and county governments. The anniversary has sparked debate on whether the Constitution has delivered on its promises or remains a document with unfulfilled potential, underscoring the ongoing struggle to embed its principles in Kenya's political and social fabric.
