What this means

The index files this text under article 178 of the Constitution of Kenya.
The passage runs to about 58 words.
Read plainly, it mentions assembly and association — it protects gathering together or joining a group, union or party (the words used: “assembly”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) Each county assembly shall have a speaker elected by the county assembly from among persons who are not members of the”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
