THE CONSTITUTION OF KENYA, 2010
Sovereignty of the peopleSovereignty of the people.
Explained:The concept of sovereignty of the people is a fundamental principle in the Constitution of Kenya. According to the constitution, all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya, and it can only be exercised in accordance with the provisions outlined in the constitution.
The people have the right to exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected representatives. This means that the citizens of Kenya have the ultimate authority in making decisions that affect the country and its governance. To ensure the effective exercise of this sovereign power, the constitution delegates the authority to certain state organs. These state organs include Parliament and the legislative assemblies in the county governments, the national executive and the executive structures in the county governments, as well as the Judiciary and independent tribunals. Parliament, both at the national level and in county governments, is responsible for making laws and representing the interests of the people. The national executive, along with the executive structures in county governments, is responsible for implementing and executing laws and policies that serve the best interests of the people. The Judiciary and independent tribunals play a crucial role in upholding the rule of law and ensuring that the rights of the people are protected. They provide a mechanism for resolving disputes and ensuring justice is served. The exercise of the sovereign power of the people occurs at both the national and county levels. This means that the people have the right to participate in decision-making processes and governance not only at the national level but also at the county level. This decentralized approach allows for greater citizen involvement and ensures that the diverse needs and interests of different regions are taken into account. In summary, the sovereignty of the people in Kenya means that all ultimate power resides with the citizens. They can exercise this power directly or through their elected representatives. The constitution delegates this sovereign power to specific state organs, including Parliament, the national executive, the Judiciary, and independent tribunals. The people exercise their sovereignty at both the national and county levels, ensuring a decentralized approach to governance.
