Today
marks another milestone in the road for operationalization of the New Constitution
with the launch of Kenya National Integrated Civic Education Programme
(K-KNICE) .
The Kenya National
Integrated Civic Education (K-NICE) Programme is the initiative of the
government in collaboration with non state actors to develop a nationally owned
and sustainable programme of civic education. The Constitution provides an
unprecedented opportunity for collaborative civic education. In recent history
civic education on governance has been dominantly undertaken by the civil
society and other non state actors. The fundamental reforms introduced by the
Constitution calls for an integrated national approach. Civic education is
critical in facilitating fundamental national transformation, legal and
institutional reforms. Civic education is also essential in creating the
necessary civic awareness, reorienting the national psyche for the new
dispensation and engendering robust public engagement in the implementation
process

DRAFT NATIONAL POLICY ON HUMAN RIGHTS
........
A draft National Policy and Action Plan on Human Rights (NAP) for Kenya has been developed by the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs in collaboration with the Kenya National Commission for Human Rights. The policy will provide a framework for the integration and mainstreaming of human rights in development planning, implementation and evaluation in all sectors in Kenya. The elaborate Bill of Rights in the new constitution creates a firm legal base for development of the policy of human rights, and its detail provides clear targets for the action plan. Since the policy was developed before the new constitution came into force an in depth review is currently being undertaken to ensure that the policy and action plan conform to the Constitution. (..
