This complementary report to the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC) has been prepared by the Centre for Legal Aid and Clinical Legal Education (CLACLE) to complement Kenya’s 4th Periodic Report on the implementation of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC), submitted in October 2025 pursuant to Article 43 of the Charter. While acknowledging the State’s progress in promoting child rights, this report identifies key areas where systemic gaps persist and where implementation remains inconsistent with both the spirit and letter of the Charter.
This submission has been prepared by the Centre for Legal Aid and Clinical Legal Education (CLACLE) in response to the United Nations Human Rights Committee’s call for inputs on its draft General Comment No. 38 on Article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) concerning the right to freedom of association.
For the 2025–2026 period, we have had the privilege of working under the guidance of our Head of Department (HoD), Mr. Kelly Malenya, and two dedicated Graduate Assistants: Ms. Ann Karuiki (CLACLE Graduate Assistant, 2025) and Mr. Levy Masinde (CLACLE Graduate Assistant, 2026).
This report is prepared in response to the UN Human Rights Council call for input on Free, Prior, and Informed Consent on indigenous communities. It analyses the persistent gap between Kenya’s robust legal framework and its weak on-the-ground implementation, highlights emerging good practices, and proposes concrete reforms.
Dear People of Kenya,
We write to you not as one above you, nor as one separate from you, but as one among you, yet from a different time. A time where your past has become our lesson, your silence our question, and your strength our inheritance.
Dear Jomo Kenyatta,
I believe that we are not acquainted yet. This is because we are from the future, modern day Kenya. You would not believe how much has changed. TVs are now in colour, and we have a new Constitution, promulgated in 2010. It vests all power in the people and is praised to have autochthonous aspirations and an admirably progressive Bill of Rights.
