Had the process turned out differently, we would be marking the 16th anniversary of the Bomas draft Constitution now, rather than the 10th anniversary of the 2010 Constitution. The oldest of these would have been about 18 at the time the Bomas draft would have become Kenya’s Constitution. The conference adopted a draft that was by no means identical to the CKRC draft in April 2004.

And the Bomas draft was very much the foundation of the first Committee of Experts draft in 2009.
