Verbatim text

(b) information held by another person and required for the exercise or protection of any right or fundamental freedom. (2) Every person has the right to the correction or deletion of untrue or misleading information that affects the person. (3) The State shall publish and publicise any important information affecting the nation. Freedom of association.

What this means

  • The index files this text under article 35 of the Constitution of Kenya.
  • The passage runs to about 55 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions assembly and association — it protects gathering together or joining a group, union or party (the words used: “association”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) Every citizen has the right of access to— (a) information held by the State; and”), 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.
