What this means

The index files this text under article 55 of the Constitution of Kenya.
The passage runs to about 47 words.
Read plainly, it mentions assembly and association — it protects gathering together or joining a group, union or party (the words used: “associate”); it mentions education — it concerns education, schooling or training (the words used: “education”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“The State shall take measures, including affirmative action”), 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.
