There has been active debate over our Constitution lately and whether we need a referendum to fix it.

After less than nine years, we are questioning whether the Constitution is right for our country, for our people, even though intellectuals such as Yash Pal Ghai insist that, "The Constitution of Kenya 2010 is still among the best in the world... the problem is lack of respect for it."
