Kenya marks Katiba Day on August 27, an annual national observation established after President Ruto proclaimed the day in 2025.
The day commemorates the promulgation of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution, with this year’s event marking its 16th anniversary.
Although celebrated across the country and in diplomatic missions abroad, Katiba Day is observed as a working day rather than a public holiday.
The Constitution of Kenya is recognised as a transformative milestone that represents the sovereign will of the Kenyan people.
The annual celebration aims to promote constitutional awareness, encourage civic engagement, and foster reflection on governance.
Furthermore, Katiba Day serves to reinforce Kenya's national commitment to constitutionalism, the rule of law, and citizen-centred governance.
