dc.description.abstract	This report is the outcome of the Constitution of Kenya review activities at the constituency level. Its production is a requirement under section 26(2) of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act (Cap 3A), which mandates the Commission to compile reports of the Constituency Constitutional Forum (CCF). The Act identifies the CCF as one of the principle organs of the Constitution of Kenya review process (sec. 4(I)(b)). Section 5 of the Act notes as one of the guiding principles of the review process, that the organs shall provide the people of Kenya with an opportunity to actively, freely and meaningfully participate in generating and debating the proposals to alter the Constitution. That the organs shall ensure that the final outcome of the review process faithfully reflects the wishes of the people of Kenya. The Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) in an effort to realize the objectives of the review, held hearings in all the constituencies in Kenya during which all Kenyans were given an opportunity to present their proposals for the alteration of the Kenyan Constitution. In its guidelines for the formation of the CCF's (pursuant to sec. 20 of the review Act), CKRC indicated that all the constituents were deemed as members of the CCF. In order to coordinate and facilitate the activities of the CCF, Constituency Constitutional Committees (CCC) were established. The guidelines proposed its membership to consist of 1O 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. This report therefore summarizes the views collected in the constituency, in five broad chapters. A brief background of the district in which the constituency is situated is presented in the first chapter followed by a similar background for the constituency, in the second chapter. The philosophy and organs of the review process at the constituency level are presented in chapter three while chapter four outlines civic education activities. The logistics of constituency public hearings and the proposals made by the constituents are presented in chapter five. The recommendations were collated according to the list of issues and questions, which was issued by CKRC at the commencement of the public hearings. However, the twenty-two areas of concern identified in the issues and questions for public hearings mainly covered constitutional issues. Additional twent5r-one categories of issues covering policy and other issues were added so as to ensure that all the concerns and recommendations made by the constituents were collated and used in the review process and also reflected in the CCF report. The Commission trusts that this report fully reflects the views of the people of the constituency.	en_US
