President William Ruto has declared August 27 as Katiba Day to mark the 15th anniversary of the 2010 Constitution and promote civic engagement across Kenya.
The proclamation, issued on Monday, August 25, calls for government institutions, schools, and diplomatic missions abroad to organise civic activities that renew commitment to the Constitution.
“Katiba Day is an opportunity for Kenyans to reflect on our collective duty to obey, preserve, protect and implement the Constitution,” said Ruto.
The president said the 2010 Constitution marked a defining moment in Kenya’s history, introducing citizen-centred governance, devolution, protection of rights and freedoms, and a shared aspiration for a just and equitable nation.
