Product Description

Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for a fascinating group of rights known as socio-economic rights. This constellation of rights, shimmering like rare jewels in a well-guarded vault of human rights includes the right to the zeniths of health and accessible housing, a diamond studded right to freedom from hunger, a sapphire-encrusted claim to education and the glistening aquamarine currents of sparkling clean and safe water, flowing with the promise of vitality and renewal for Kenyans of all walks. Yet, within this captivating construction lies a paradox-a glimpse into the intricate dance between aspiration and pragmatism for a developing country like Kenya that struggles to allocate resources required to make socio- economic rights a reality for its citizens. The book dares to question: Is Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya a lyrical masterpiece awaiting realization, or can its radiant clauses be transformed into actionable policies of a binding nature? The discourse herein invites the reader to embark on a journey through a scholarly boulevard that explores the mosaic of socio-economic rights, unravelled with eloquence, juxtaposed against the canvas of Kenya's legal landscape and economic realities and enriched with comparative perspectives from analogous jurisdictions.
