  1. The constitution Process; some thoughts

  2. A FEW FACTS ON THE CONSTITUTION MAKING PROCESS IN KENYA • The search for the new constitution in Kenya has been long and torturous • We have spent a lot of time and resources in the process • A lot of lives and property have been lost in this struggle • A lot of consultation and public involvement has taken place in our search for the new constitution

  3. FACTS: Kenyans have already spelled out the kind of constitution they want A few elements always find their way to frustrate the chance of Kenyans to get a new constitution If the citizens are well informed and empowered they can be able to withstand the lies of political leaders and hence make their own decision

  4. SCENARIO The PCK is published and it represents a broad consensus but some vocal groups reject it and either threaten or start campaigning against it. Options for CSOs under this scenario- • That further consultations are held (argue for status quo till then) • Campaigning for the adoption of the draft (determine that those against the PCK are an obstacle to reform) • Not to engage in the referendum and/or constitution making process altogether.
