President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Kenya
August 5, 2010 | 4:26 PM

Kenya’s passing of a new Constitution warrants two “People of the Week.” President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga were instrumental in orchestrating this significant step forward. Kenya’s new Constitution, which citizens overwhelmingly voted for through Wednesday’s peaceful referendum, aims to mitigate governmental corruption. It mandates a separation of the executive and legislature, the creation of a Senate (“sober second thought,” to borrow from Canada’s first Prime Minister John A. Maconald), slight devolution to regions, and ameliorated qualifications for judiciary positions. While this list is certainly abbreviated and omits various aspects of the reformation, the message of the changes ought to be clear. Kenya now has a system of checks and balances.

Only 19 years have passed since Parliament allowed a multiparty system. But, corruption abounded. This imperfect, yet tremendously positive document is a necessary step in ending years of bloodshed and destruction. Regardless of their respective political histories, Kibaki, who delivered on his electoral promise of a Constitutional renovation, and Odinga, should be commended.
