Katiba si katiba bila kutekelezwa. Kwa miaka na mikaka, baadhi ya wanaostahili kuitetea na kuilinda katiba wamekuwa wakiinajisi. Wakomeshwe!

What does the Constitution mean to someone seeking justice, demanding information or defending their fundamental freedoms? Its value is ultimately reflected in the lives it protects. This is the work that makes 15 years worth celebrating. #KatibaInstituteAt15 @katibainstitute

The establishment of Katiba Institute filled a crucial institutional gap by providing dedicated legal avenues for public interest litigation aimed directly at giving practical life to the provisions of the 2010 Constitution. #KatibaInstituteAt15 @katibainstitute

Very true. Often they just do shoddy public participation just to tick the box. Often they ignore what the public tells them. We are the people. The sovereign people. We have to defend our constitution. If they fail, we recall them at te ballot. #katibainstitute15

Your voice matters in decisions that affect your community and your country. Public participation is a constitutional right, not a favour extended by those in authority. Katiba Institute continues to promote meaningful citizen engagement. #KatibaInstituteAt15 @katibainstitute

Well put @Kevinmabonga1 . Keep th passion burning. Citizens must enjoy the rights
A Constitution is only meaningful when it is implemented. Citizens must enjoy the rights it guarantees. Public institutions must respect its provisions. Katiba Institute continues to champion this principle. #KatibaInstituteAt15 @katibainstitute

Strategic litigation can help protect fundamental freedoms. It challenges actions that undermine constitutional principles. It also encourages public institutions to respect the law. This work strengthens accountability. #KatibaInstituteAt15

Your impact is real. We needed a watchdog to keep the implementers in check. You are the fifth estate. The media is then fourth estate. Your have done well @katibainstitute #KatibaInstituteAT15
The 2010 Constitution represented a historic achievement for Kenya. However, adopting a Constitution was only the beginning. Its promises needed institutions committed to implementation. Katiba Institute stepped forward to support that responsibility. #KatibaInstituteAt15
