President William Ruto has called on Kenyans to reflect as a nation, without pointing fingers, as the country marks 16 years of the Constitution.
Speaking on Thursday, August 27 during the 2026 Katiba Day symposium at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), the President called for the country to talk honestly, not at each other.
"Sixteen years ago we gave ourselves a transformative constitution, our responsibility today is to fulfil its promise and build a democratic, prosperous and transformed republic, that is the meaning of Katiba at 16, what we now say, Kenya yetu wajibu wetu," he said.
"It is a moment for us to reflect collectively as a nation, not pointing fingers, not avoiding responsibility, not trying to excuse what is not right," he added.

Ruto called on every Kenyan to be responsible and accountable for their actions, noting that this is a constitutional obligation.
