Ask a lawyer:
Explain Our Right to Assembly (Demonstrate), Right to Health and our Freedom & Security as enshrined in Articles 37, 43 & 29 of our Constitution

As a Kenyan AI Lawyer Assistant, I am happy to explain the rights you have as a Kenyan citizen.

Right to Assembly (Demonstrate)

Every citizen has the right to assemble, demonstrate, picket, and present petitions to public authorities. This right is provided for under Article 37 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. However, the constitution provides that in exercising these rights, a person shall be unarmed and shall not infringe on the rights of others.

Right to Health

Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 states that every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services, including reproductive health care.

Freedom & Security of Person

Article 29 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 states that every person has the right to freedom and security of the person, which includes the right not to be subjected to any form of violence from either the government or an individual.
