This blog focuses on some of the controversial sections of the Kenyan “Assembly and Demonstration Bill 2024” and its effect on the right to peacefully assemble as provided by Article 37 of the Constitution of Kenya. It highlights three key concerns: the ban on wearing a mask during demonstrations, legal responsibility for the action of protest-related damage, and restrictions on meetings that can undermine the rights of others. The author draws parallels to similar challenges faced in India, particularly during anti-CAA and farmer protests, emphasizing the need for both nations to safeguard constitutional freedoms while balancing law and order.
