This flagship project has three components, namely the development of laws to implement the Constitution (fifth schedule laws), civic education on the Constitution and inculcating a culture of constitutionalism.
- Development of Laws to Implement the Constitution
With regard to the development of laws to implement the constitution, the following strategies will be adopted:
- Prioritization and audit of all existing laws to ensure their conformity with the Constitution;
- Review of legislation leading to recommendations for amendment, consolidation or repeal;
- Development of model laws and provision of technical assistance to counties on the development of county specific legislation;
- Drafting of bills in support of progressive fulfillment of schedule five; and
- Development of rules and regulations on all Constitution implementation legislation.
- Civic Education on the Constitution
It is critical that the Kenyan people understand their rights and responsibilities under the supreme law well enough to actively engage government and governmental processes as part of their civic engagements. In this regard, the sector will ensure sustainable access to information and awareness on the Constitution, its principles, structures and processes.
- Inculcate a Culture of Constitutionalism
It is important to ensure adherence to Constitution amongst government agencies, non-state actors and individuals. Steps will be undertaken to build a culture of respect for the rule of law while fostering a system that ensures governmental responsiveness to its citizens and citizens’ responsibility for keeping government in check.
