Surprising how the constitution debate actually makes it HARDER to bother reading the whole document. I mean, it's no longer about the damn thing!
Even @slammers abadoned the cause. So let's see what else is good...
Chapter Nine - THE EXECUTIVE (in 4 parts)
point 26: So important constitution always recognizes who's boss, this was majour fault in the current constitution. I mean Chapter 2 is the president this.. and president that...
In the new constitution, president needs to exercise his power with the principle of service to the people of Kenya, and for their well-being and benefit. And respect, uphold and safeguard this Constitution;
point 27: We don't want roadside declarations so much...
(135) A decision of the President in the performance of any function of the
President under this Constitution shall be in writing and shall bear the seal
and signature of the President.
point 28: To become president, you don't have to be 35 years of age; you need at least 2000 signatures from majority of counties; you must be a citizen by birth (not just a citizen as is currently the case); you can be nominated by political party or just be independent.
point 29: (145) A member of the National Assembly, supported by at least a third of all the members, may move a motion for the impeachment of the President—
gross violation of constitution; crime committed; gross misconduct
point 30: And we have deputy presidents to allow them selected as running mates who are automatically elected if president wins. Possible to get rid of them through impeachment, incapacity etc. When new one is nominated, National Assembly must approve.
point 31: (152) The Cabinet consists of - not fewer than fourteen and not more than twenty-two Cabinet Secretaries. A Cabinet Secretary shall not be a Member of Parliament.
(153) A decision by the Cabinet shall be in writing.
Cabinet Secretaries are accountable individually, and collectively, to the President for the exercise of their powers and the performance of their functions.
point 32: Good that office of Attorney General and Director of Public Prosectutions defined in constitution - the latter is new. Now the DPP may not discontinue a prosecution without the permission of the court.
As discussed elsewhere, DPP has security of tenure unlike Attorney General, Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries etc.
