Katiba Institute is marking fifteen years of advancing constitutionalism, promoting the rule of law, protecting human rights and strengthening accountable governance in Kenya.
Since its establishment in 2011, KI has worked to turn the promise of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution into reality through strategic litigation, research, public participation, civic education, access to information initiatives, media engagement and partnerships.
To commemorate this milestone, KI will run a three-week digital anniversary campaign from 26 October to 13 November 2026, under the theme “15 Years of Constitutionalism, Impact and Legacy.”
The campaign will tell the story of KI’s establishment and growth, highlight landmark cases and stories of impact, showcase institutional milestones and publications, and feature reflections from current and former staff members and partners.

As the Supreme Court prepares to determine the dispute concerning the taxable car grant for judges, we urge the court to reject the Sh2.3 billion package, which risks strengthening the unholy union between Judiciary, Parliament, and the Executive.

#PressStatement
Illegal school levies are pushing learners out of classrooms and turning Kenya’s constitutional promise of free and compulsory basic education into a reality that increasingly depends on a family’s ability to pay. A new survey by the @_ebwg shows that more than nine in 10 households surveyed either paid an illegal levy in 2025, expect to pay one in 2026 or expect to pay more than the gazetted school fee.
At #PAC2026, KHRC's @nerima_annet discussed why Africa needs fairer taxing rights, greater transparency and stronger action on illicit financial flows. The UN Tax Convention is an opportunity to reshape global tax rules so that wealth generated in Africa contributes to Africa’s development.
.@WilliamsRuto regime is misguided in thinking that unleashing chaos and staging protests at @StandardKenya will deter critical, independent journalism.
KHRC stands with the newsroom’s bold, independent journalism, protected by Articles 33, 34 and 35 of Kenya’s Constitution.
We urge SMG to stand firm and double down on critical reporting. Kenya needs journalism that holds power to account.
