  "summary": "Human rights activist Davies Okombo has criticized the Kenyan government for alleged violations of human rights, stating that the country has not fully delivered on constitutional protections 16 years after the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution. While acknowledging progress made through devolution and fiscal decentralisation, Okombo highlighted ongoing concerns over enforced disappearances, extra-judicial killings, and violations of the right to a fair trial. He urged the government to strengthen its commitment to constitutional protections and ensure state institutions operate within the law, emphasizing the need to uphold both constitutional and international obligations to ensure Kenyans can fully enjoy their rights.",
