Verbatim text

and the Deputy President shall be a charge on the Consolidated Fund. (2) The remuneration, benefits and privileges of the President and Deputy President shall not be varied to their disadvantage while in office. (3) The retirement benefits payable to a former President and a former Deputy President, the facilities available to and the privileges enjoyed by them, shall not be varied to their disadvantage during their lifetime.

What this means

  • The index files this text under article 151 of the Constitution of Kenya.
  • The passage runs to about 68 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions pay and pensions — it sets pay, salary, allowance or pension terms (the words used: “remuneration”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) The remuneration and benefits payable to the President”), 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.
