The new constitution was needed to give us a sense of real independence, which we did not have previously. - Prof. Yash

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

I do not know of any constitution anywhere in the world that places as much importance in human rights the way we do. - Prof. Yash

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

We have not lived up to the promise of the comprehensive constitution. We need to make it a reality. - Prof. Yash

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

There are many attempts to go back to the status quo and the centralization of power. - Yvonne Okwara

#UmojaNiNguvu #StrongerTogetherKE

The constitution does not give people rights, it articulates rights that you already have. - Nanjala Nyabola

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

We are facing challenge on how we can make the human rights chapter of the constitution a reality. - Prof Yash

#UmojaNiNguvu #StrongerTogetherKE

There is a lot of apathy in the community building that we do. We see so much disillusionment about what is going on in the country concerning issues of governance and constitution. - Patrick Ochieng

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

I am dying for the day when we will walk with Mama Mboga and the Wanjiku and write another path. Coin a country that we want. - Patrick Ochieng

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

We need to push up the pressure for citizens to get information. There is so much noise in the headlines that cannot help Kenyans change their models of governance. - Patrick Ochieng

#UmojaNiNguvu #StrongerTogetherKE

We have to beginning to think within the framework of the constitution even as we think about our civil societies groups. We need to get to address central issues. We should think again how we set ourselves for politics. - Prof Yash

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

We are the point where the colonial constitution was changed by the 2010 constitution. Kenyan society doesn’t have the irreducible minimum. This is where the tragedy is. - Patrick Ochieng

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

As an individual speak up when you see something. That’s the sort of the constitutionalism that we need. Question the narrative. Citizen engagement need to come from the people. Understand what’s going on and question. - Yvonne Okwara

#StrongerTogetherKe #UmojaNiNguvu

We need to stop asking, where is Omtatah, where is Amnesty? In reality, where are you? - Yvonne Okwara

#UmojaNiNguvu #StrongerTogetherKE

Wondering why you should be an @AmnestyKenya member and start your own circle is conscience? This is why...

Take back your voice, take back your power, take back your communities.

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

We can do it and we will do it! - Prof. Yash

#UmojaNiNguvu #StrongerTogether

Do not outsource your power. Do not outsource your courage. This is our constitution. Let’s help support this who are speaking out! Don’t donate your space! - Yvonne Okwara

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

Politicize! Historicize! And take back the power! - Patrick Ochieng

#StrongerTogetherKE #UmojaNiNguvu

Be the constitution, be the katiba! - Irungu Houghton

#UmojaNiNguvu #StrongerTogetherKE

Find people who are already doing something and ask how you can plug in. - Nanjala Nyabola
