(2) A person shall not be required to perform forced labour. Privacy.

What this means

  • The index files this text under article 30 of the Constitution of Kenya.
  • The passage runs to about 12 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions privacy, search and seizure — it protects privacy or limits searching a person, their home or their communications (the words used: “Privacy”); it mentions forced labour and servitude — it forbids slavery, servitude or being forced to work (the words used: “forced labour”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) A person shall not be held in slavery or servitude.”), 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.
