Kenya: The Struggle for a New Constitutional Order by Gīchora Mwangi

Kenya: The Struggle for a New Constitutional Order is a carefully researched account of the decades-long battle to reform Kenya's inherited colonial constitution — a struggle that involved civil society activists, opposition politicians, international pressure, and ordinary citizens demanding accountability. Gĩchora Mwangi traces the political maneuvering, the false starts, the violence, and the eventual breakthrough of the 2010 constitution with clarity and analytical depth. For anyone seeking to understand how Kenyan democracy evolved — and why its contradictions remain so persistent — this book provides essential historical and political context.
