EACC joins stakeholders in marking 15 years of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution
01:09:2025: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) joined other key stakeholders in commemorating the 15th anniversary of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution during the Katiba@15 event, hosted by the Nation Media Group at the Mövenpick Hotel in Nairobi.
The Wednesday high-level forum brought together senior government officials, legal experts, civil society actors, and media representatives to reflect on the achievements, challenges, and future of constitutional governance in Kenya.
The event was graced by Chief Justice and President of the Supreme Court, Hon. Martha Koome; Chairman of the National Land Commission, Gershom Otachi; and President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), Faith Odhiambo, among others.
The EACC delegation was led by the Commission’s Director of Legal Services, Mr. David Too. He was accompanied by Directors Mr. John Lolkoloi (Ethics and Leadership), Mr. Jackson Mue (Field Services), and officers Regina Muriuki, Neema Mkorori, and Stephen Karuga.
Participating in a panel discussion on ‘Safeguarding Integrity and Accountability under the Constitution’ alongside Gershom Otachi, Omwanza Ombati, and Cherimo Njoroge, Mr. Too noted that the EACC has made significant strides in promoting the rule of law, accountability, and good governance in line with Chapter Six of the Constitution.
He, however, emphasized the need for enhanced collaboration among institutions and actors to fully realize the aspirations of the Constitution, particularly regarding integrity in public service.
Chief Justice Martha Koome highlighted the Judiciary’s transformation since the enactment of the 2010 Constitution, reaffirming its commitment to equitable access to justice for all Kenyans. She praised the constitutional framework for strengthening judicial independence and accountability.
LSK President Faith Odhiambo, in her remarks, called on citizens to remain vigilant in defending constitutional gains, warning that the principles of transparency and accountability remain under threat from entrenched interests.
The Katiba@15 event served as a platform for renewed dialogue on the Constitution’s impact over the past decade and a half, and a call to action for all stakeholders to safeguard its vision moving forward.
