It is Katiba Day! We celebrate Katiba Day not because Kenya adopted the 2010 Constitution, but because it gave Kenyans a powerful framework to claim their rights, participate in governance, and hold power to account. #KatibaAt16

We, the people of Kenya, 16 years on… As we mark 16 years of the 2010 Constitution, pause to reflect on how far we have come and how far we still have to go. Has the 2010 Constitution delivered on its promise? @mzalendowatch.bsky.social #KatibaAt16

For young people to meaningfully participate in county governance, they first need to understand how devolution works. We unpack the foundations of devolution, highlighting Article 6, which recognises the national and county governments and explains how their roles are distinct but connected.

The High Court has summoned Kenya’s top legal, security, and devolved government officials to appear in Court on 24 September 2026 to explain their continued defiance of a 2023 judgment ordering the operationalisation of County Policing Authorities (CPAs). @mbagathi.bsky.social

These include weak implementation of oversight recommendations, limited public participation, delayed disbursement of funds, and poor coordination in the transfer of functions between the national and county governments. #decentralization #multilevelgovernance

The Kenya-South Africa comparison shows that both countries have adopted decentralized governance to deepen democracy, bring government closer to the people, and improve public service delivery. #decentralization #multilevelgovernance
