The Executive Director was
selected by the NGO Council as a delegate to the National
Constitutional Conference representing the Non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) constituency. He had followed the
Constitutional Review Process since 1992 and he was an
active participant in the Consultative Constitutional Review
Forums held at Bomas of Kenya, and at Safari Park, attending
regular meetings at Ufungamano House and later got involved
in the provision of Advocacy and dissemination of Civic
Education in Nyanza and Western Region under our
organization which was an accredited provider.
While attending various
constitutional review forums, he realized that although
there was enthusiasm from Kenyans following a wind of change
blowing across the country, there was an information vacuum.
He decided to step in and fill the gaps and dots...of
illiteracy in his first book "THE PEOPLE, THE
CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW AND THE GOVERNMENT in 1999."
He was eventually elected a
delegate to the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) and
elected the convener (chairman) of one of the thirteen
Technical Working Committee-- Preamble,
Sovereignty of the people, Supremacy of the
Constitution, The republic and national values, goals
and principles" and a member of the NCC
Steering Committee.
Since the Executive Director
left Bomas he has written two books of the review process:
THE KENYAN RENAISSANCE 2003,
and after the Constitutional Conference he
wrote
THE KENYAN SECOND LIBERATION 2005.
