As Kenya marks the 15th anniversary of its 2010 Constitution, national discourse has intensified around governance, corruption, and constitutional implementation. Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua criticized President William Ruto's administration, accusing it of abandoning the original government manifesto and pursuing a personal agenda. Gachagua also alleged that Ruto monitors Members of Parliament with evidence of bribery and claimed to have facilitated a meeting between Ruto and Hemedti, leader of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF). He denied being a tribalist despite being labeled as such by Ruto and highlighted his nationalist stance and efforts to represent diverse Kenyan communities. Gachagua further accused the government of orchestrating attacks against him and misusing police forces. Meanwhile, during the Katiba Day celebrations, leaders including Raila Odinga and Chief Justice Martha Koome addressed challenges in constitutional enforcement. Odinga called for a review of devolution, arguing Kenya is too small for 47 counties, and criticized institutions like the National Police Service and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission for failing to meet public expectations. President Ruto acknowledged the need to revisit constitutional matters and emphasized the importance of respecting fundamental rights. Civil society groups expressed concerns over corruption and poor governance, urging full implementation of the Constitution and accountability from government officials. The ongoing dialogue reflects a national effort to uphold constitutionalism and address systemic issues affecting Kenya's democratic and governance frameworks.
