Proposed Constitution of Kenya, 2010

So, imagine you are playing a game with your friends, and you want to make some rules to make the game better. This is kind of like what happened in Kenya in 2010, where the leaders of the country wanted to make some new rules to make the country better.

They worked together to create something called a constitution, which is like a big list of rules that everyone in the country has to follow.

The new rules had some important changes, like making it so that people could only be president for two terms instead of staying in power for a really long time. They also wanted to make sure that everyone in the country was treated fairly and equally, no matter what their background or identity was.

The leaders took their time to write these new rules down, and then they showed them to lots of people all across the country so that everyone could have a say in what they thought about the new rules.

Finally, after lots of discussion and going back and forth, the new rules were accepted. This means that everyone in Kenya now has to follow these new rules in order to make the country a better place for everyone.
