A proposito di questo titolo

 In the wake of the 2007–08 post-election violence that claimed over 1,100 lives and displaced hundreds of thousands, Kenyans embarked on an unprecedented constitutional rewrite. This episode follows the journey from the Waki Commission's call for fundamental reform to the 2010 referendum that saw nearly 70% of voters approve a new constitution. We explore the coalitions of civil society, including the Bomas and Naivasha drafting processes, the role of the 'Yes' and 'No' campaigns led by Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto initially opposed, and the key innovations: the devolution of power to 47 counties, the two-term limit for the presidency, a Bill of Rights, and the creation of the Supreme Court and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. We also examine the challenges of implementation, including the struggle to fund counties and the high-profile cases before the Supreme Court that tested the new order. This episode reveals how a nation scarred by ethnic violence crafted — and continues to test — a new social contract.
