Kenya Flag during The Katiba Day Celebration [PSC]

Kenya marked the 16th anniversary of the 2010 Constitution, celebrated as Katiba Day, as human rights groups acknowledged the monumental democratic gains achieved.

In Nakuru County, civil activists said the constitution has greatly expanded the freedom of expression and that of the media, enabling journalists and citizens to hold those in power accountable.

Laban Omusundi, a renown civil rights activist, noted “Unlike before, when media houses in Kenya did not have the freedom to criticise the government, nowadays the media can shed light on issues affecting citizens without fear of those in power."
