Article 3: Right to equality before the law 30. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 recognizes that all individuals are equal before the law. Article 27(1) provides that “every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law.” This is also anchored in Part 4 of the Constitution which provides for the Bill of Rights. Article 20(1) states that “the Bill of Rights applies to all law and binds all State organs and all persons” and Article 20(2) states that “every person shall enjoy the rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights to the greatest extent consistent with the nature of the right or fundamental freedom”. The Bill of Rights further provides under Article 22(1) that “every person has the right to institute court proceedings claiming that a right or fundamental freedom in the Bill of Rights has been denied, violated or infringed, or is threatened.” 31. Article 25 provides for the fundamental rights and freedoms that cannot be limited under any circumstances. All citizens or any person appearing before a Court of law or tribunal shall at all times be entitled to a fair trial. The Independence Constitution had Rules for the enforcement of the fundamental rights and freedoms under Section 84(6). The Sixth Schedule the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 which deals with Transition and consequential provisions ensured that the said rules were in force until the Chief Justice developed the Protection of Fundamental Rights Rules that are currently in effect. 32. Pursuant to the provisions of Article 59(4) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the Government enacted the Commission on Administration of Justice (CAJ) Act Cap 102 Laws of Kenya which created the Commission on Administration of Justice whose mandate is to deal with complaints against any administrative action of public officials. The CAJ is guided by among others, the principles of impartiality and gender equity; and the rules of natural justice. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 also states inter alia under Article 47(1) that “every person has the right to administrative action that is expeditious, efficient, lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair.” 33. In order to ensure equal protection of the law, the Judiciary has undergone major transformation that seeks to reposition it within the context of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. This commenced with the competitive recruitment of the Chief Justice, other judicial officers as well as administrative and paralegal staff.
