The Constitution of Kenya, promulgated in 2010, is the supreme law of the land. It guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms to all citizens. This resource provides an overview of key rights including the right to life, equality and freedom from discrimination, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and the right to a fair hearing.
Understanding these rights is the first step toward justice. COPLER Foundation, through its LEX pillar, works to ensure that every Kenyan — regardless of background — can access, understand, and exercise their constitutional rights.
This article covers:
- The Bill of Rights (Chapter 4)
- Equality and non-discrimination
- Access to justice
- Public participation
- Consumer rights
- Economic and social rights
