Former EALA MP Abubakar Zein Abubakar, who passed on Thursday while undergoing treatment at a Nairobi hospital, was among activists who campaigned and later participated in the writing of the 2010 Constitution.

Zein, as he was popularly known was among activists who used to gather at Ufungamano House to advocate for constitutional reforms, under the leadership of late lawyer Dr Oki Ooko Ombaka and Mutava Musyimi in the early 2000s.

The Ufungamano Initiative transformed itself into the People’s Commission of Kenya to campaign the unilateral decision of the Kanu regime to constitute the Constitution Review Commission of Kenya (CKRC).
