Advancing Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law

In the Ateker region, formal legal systems often feel distant and inaccessible, and force frequently replaces lawful authority.

Reflections from Our Comrades and Partners
“For years we have said: no one is above the law. Today, we must also affirm: no one is below the law. All of us are equal before it.”
Hon Charles LokiyotoSpeaker of the County Assembly of Turkana
“Justice must be accessible, affordable, and culturally relevant. A law that the people cannot understand or own is a law that fails its purpose.”
Prof PLO LumumbaRenowned Kenyan Lawyer & Pan-Africanist
“The most vulnerable people are still asking, where is justice? What is the law? Because they really don't see it; they see the law working against them.”
Ikal Ang'eleiExecutive Director of Friends of Lake Turkana
“The law has allowed even persons differently abled to stand before dignitaries and express themselves. In the past, we were disregarded as unfortunate persons. But now, we are fortunate, and that has been enhanced by you.”
Mr. Lucas LokusiChairperson - National Council of Persons with Disabilities - Turkana County
“After death, things happen. Properties are contested, families break apart, and you are left alone. You turn to the law, but the bureaucracies are many and the costs are high. So you keep quiet and suffer in silence.”
Niva LopetetFounder, Turkana Widows Empowerment Network
