Article 1 of the constitution provides that all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and is exercised directly or indirectly through democratically elected representatives. Civic education is therefore a critical avenue for enhancing the ability of the public to meaningfully and effectively participate in governance. Citizens need to be empowered with the right information in a timely manner to enable them participate effectively in public affairs and socio- economic development of the country. Article 33(i) 'a' of the constitution states that, 'every person has the right to freedom of expression which includes freedom to seek, receive or impart information or ideas'.
The Jukumu Langu civic education material presents the subject of devolution and public participation in an easy to read language with vivid illustrations and relevant examples. The opportunities for public participation have also been well articulated. The presentation of the material makes rich and enjoyable learning experiences at both individual and group levels.
Intented Users: The material has been used by national and county governments and by civil society organizations for civic education, and is intended to benefit to all stakeholders engaged in public service delivery.
