3. CONSTITUTION MAKING/REVIEW PROCESS

3.1. Constituency Constitutional Forums (CCFs)

3.1.1. Philosophy

The Constituency Constitutional Forum (CCF) plays a very significant role in the review of the
constitution. It is designated as one of the organs ‘ through which the review process shall be
conducted’ - (sec. 4(1) of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, Cap.3A). The importance
attached to the CCF arises from the recognition of the need to involve the people fully in the
review of the constitution. Only through such participation of the public will the new
constitution reflect the preferences, hopes and aspirations of the people. It would also increase
people’s knowledge of constitutional issues, and facilitate their familiarity with the provisions of
the new constitution. Additionally, the process, enhances the legitimacy of the constitution
among Kenyans and their sense of ownership over it. In these ways the proper implementation
and safeguarding of the constitution will be facilitated.

3.1.2. Composition and Establishment

The 1997 Review Act had provided for district forums ‘to mobilize communities at the local level
for the purpose of civic education in preparation for the Commission’s work and to perform such
other duties as the Commission may assign’ - (sec. 12A (6). The District Forums were to consist
of members elected to represent locations, religious organizations, and the disabled, in addition
to MPs and members of every local authority in the district. The Act contained several provisions
prescribing minimum qualifications for membership and regulating the operations of the District
Forums.

The Select Committee of the National Assembly, which reviewed the Act in early 2000, decided to
replace the District Forums with Constituency Forums to get views ‘ directly from the people in
the constituency without necessarily going through the rigours of an election to determine the
members of the forum’. It thought that this would provide for a more popular form of
participation. It recommended on the simplification of the forum to avoid elections. The Select
Committee envisaged the constituency forum as and ‘open forum with no specific structures’,
which should be ‘ flexible and easy to manage’. Its opinion was that the ‘existing leadership
4
comprising Members of Parliament, councilors, community based organizations, religious groups
and individuals should be able to present views and opinions directly from the grassroots’ ( The
Report of the Parliamentary Select Committee Reviewing the Constitution of Kenya Review
Act,1997 , April 2000). It removed the regulatory powers of the Commission over the forum, its
role being confined to the ‘facilitation’ of the forum. It also changed the function of the forum
from the facilitation of civic education to also include facilitation and the collection of the views of
the public on proposals to alter the constitution.

In view of the limited role of the CKRC in the establishment of the CCF’s, the CKRC prepared
and gazetted Guidelines for the operationalization of the constituency constitutional forums. The
Guidelines stipulated that all the residents of a constituency would constitute the CCF. The CCF
is described as one of the organs ‘ through which the review process shall be conducted’ -
(sec.4(1)). The CCF was thus one of the principal ways in which the views of the public were to be
obtained.

In order to coordinate and facilitate the activities of the CCF, a Constituency Constitutional
Committee (CCC) was to be established. The Guidelines proposed its membership to consist of
10 persons, of which three would be ex-officio: the local MP, the chair of the County Council in
which the constituency is located, and the District Coordinator. The Guidelines stated that the
membership would be as broad and representative of the people of the constituency as possible
and recommended that at least a third of the committee should be women.

3.1.3. Functions of CCF

• Facilitation of collection of the views of the public at the constituency level on proposals to
alter the constitution; and
• Debate and discussion of the views of the members of the public on proposals to alter the
constitution.

In performance of these functions, the CKRC was required to visit all constituencies (Sec.18
(1)(a)).

3.1.4. Functions of CCC

• The functions of the CCC were mainly facilitative and advisory, the primary aim being to
enhance the effective participation in the ownership of the constitution review process by
the people at the constituency level;
• The CCC was also mandated to promote, facilitate and monitor civic education at the
constituency level in collaboration with the District Coordinator and civic education
providers;
• Additionally, the CCC had to ensure that the constituency had access to all information
relevant to the review process in coordination with District Documentation centers; and
• Finally, the CCC was also mandated with the task of dissemination of the report of the
CKRC. It was to be assisted in this by the District Coordinator, who was also its accounting
officer, in relation to funds that were made available to it by CKRC.

It is important to emphasize that the Guidelines were advisory, and the local community was free
to modify them to suit local circumstances. For example, the size of the CCC could be increased

5
when and if adequate representation and diversity required it.

3.1.5. Date of Commencement of Work

The Constituency Constitutional Forum (CCF) was to run for an initial period commencing
November 2001 up to September 2002. Accordingly, each Constituency Constitutional
Committee (CCC) should have been constituted at the very latest by the end of November 2001.
The Constituency Constitutional Forum was to be operational by that time.
